Crystal Palace defender Gary Cahill explained that the victory over rivals Brighton was the only thing that mattered despite spending the whole match on the back foot.
The Eagles stunned their fellow Premier League relegation worriers with a last gasp victory at the AMEX Stadium. Christian Benteke scored a 95th-minute winner with a spectacular volley after Jean-Phillippe Mateta opened the scoring in the first half with a backheel.
Brighton had 25 shots against Crystal Palace, with 19 coming in the second half and also dominated possession with 75% of the ball as the visitors defended valiantly.
