Match summary

Why this match mattered

Brighton gained three points, a five-goal improvement in goal difference and local bragging rights over Palace. Successive wins with clean sheets give their next league match, away to Liverpool, added interest. Palace's goal difference fell by five and they took no points from the derby. Their next Premier League fixture is at home to Newcastle United, where they will look to respond to this setback.

Crystal Palace were most strongly backed in India, Israel, Brazil, Bulgaria and Colombia, reflecting notable support across Asia, Europe and South America. The geographic split highlights the global reach of both clubs.
