Gavin: Good to see Palace execute a clear game plan and the first half was excellent for Palace in the way we fashioned the two goals. Second half we had to absorb a great deal of pressure with Henderson making some excellent saves. Palace definitely the better side and a deserved win.

Glasner and his Palace players might finally feel the pressure they had felt in the earlier parts of this season has now relented

This was perhaps the classic away victory in many ways. Brighton were very good in spells, but displayed a fragility with Oliver Glasner’s men capitalising on the type of form that has seen Albion drop points in recent weeks.
