Crystal Palace 2-1 Brighton: Nine-man Eagles soar to win feisty A23 derby as Eberechi Eze produces pair of assists

Crystal Palace had to wait a long old while to do the league double over Brighton.

Since 1932, to be precise, when they were in the Third Division South. Even Roy Hodgson was 14 years from being born in Croydon, as if to underline the age it took them.

They could never have envisaged ending that 93-year wait in a manner as gloriously ludicrous as this.

Daniel Munoz got the goal which won it in 55th minute, but this 'A23 derby' will be remembered better for being a second yellow showdown at Selhurst Park.
