Brighton players were SPAT ON by Crystal Palace fans and had coins and drinks thrown at them as they walked off the pitch after dramatic derby draw

Brighton players were left furious after being spat on by Crystal Palace supporters as they walked off the pitch following Monday's dramatic draw at Selhurst Park.

Tensions were running high between the two sets of players and fans at the end of the clash, after Neal Maupay scored a 95th-minute equaliser for Brighton in a match Palace had controlled for long periods.

The hostilities escalated as the away side passed a section of home fans on their way to the dressing room. Some Seagulls players were allegedly spat at, while coins and drinks are understood to have been thrown their way.
