Brighton 0-1 Crystal Palace: Premier League – live reaction
Ismaïla Sarr’s second-half strike was enough to give Palace their first league win since November and take them nine points clear of the relegation zone
…which means that’s it from me. Thanks for your company and comments, sorry I couldn’t use them all. Peace out.
Palace should be safe from relegation now – with 25 games gone, they’re nine points above the bottom three, with Brighton, Spurs, Leeds and Forest between them and West Ham. They’ve got Burnley in midweek too, then Wolves, both at home – two wins and they’re sorted.
“What an amazing signing he’s been so far,†says Daniel Sturridge of Antoine Semenyo. What a spot from Pep and the boys, incredible stuff.
Analysis: Fans turn ire on Hurzeler
Having made their feelings clear following last weekend's 1-1 draw at home against Everton, Brighton fans once more directed their ire towards manager Fabian Hurzeler at the end of Sunday's encounter.
The full-time whistle was met by a chorus of boos from the home supporters, with some chanting "You don't know what you're doing" in the direction of the 32-year-old as he made his way off the pitch.
Brighton were marginally the better side in the opening 30 minutes, but Maxim de Cuyper's low shot – easily held by Dean Henderson – was all they produced against a Palace side who were evidently lacking in confidence.

Brighton 0-1 Crystal Palace: Ismaila Sarr ends Eagles winless run as Brighton are booed off
Report and free match highlights as Ismaila Sarr's second-half goal grabbed Crystal Palace a vital Premier League win; Brighton have just one victory in their last 12 games and were booed off at the Amex Stadium with fans turning on boss Fabian Hurzeler
Crystal Palace ended a 12-game winless run in all competitions with a 1-0 victory over rivals Brighton, whose head coach Fabian Hurzeler came under fire from the home fans.
Ismaila Sarr's second-half goal was enough for a vital away win for the Eagles, with Brighton really flat and stale in their approach.
Brighton have won just one of their last 12 Premier League games – only Burnley (5) and Wolves (6) have taken fewer points since December 1. That form has heaped pressure on Hurzeler who was subjected to chants of "you don't know what you're doing" and "sacked in the morning" from a large section of the home support while his team was roundly booed off at full-time.
