Chris Hughton Claims Brighton 'Weathered the Storm' in Derby Win Over Crystal Palace

Chris Hughton hailed his side's 'manly performance' in a satisfying away win against fierce rivals Crystal Palace. After winning the previous encounter at the Amex Stadium, Brighton completed a league double over Palace for the first time in 35 years.

No one in history has scored more goals in this fixture than Glenn Murray, having played for both sides. The 35-year-old came back to haunt his former employers once again when he opened the scoring with a beautifully taken volley after a defensive mix-up.

The game was bogged in heavy challenges, one of which proved crucial as Davy Propper up-ended Andros Townsend in the area.
