Brighton fans turned out in full force under the April sunshine for Saturday’s clash at Selhurst Park. Despite the result not going their way, the away support remained strong and passionate throughout.
The match itself was packed with drama. Daniel Munoz’s deflected strike early in the second half sealed the win for Crystal Palace, but not before the game descended into chaos with three red cards handed out.
Danny Welbeck brought Brighton level after Jean-Philippe Mateta’s third-minute opener, but the real tension came late. Both Eddie Nketiah and Marc Guehi saw red for Palace, while Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke was also sent off deep into stoppage time.
Seagulls head coach Fabian Hurzeler admitted his young squad struggled to manage their emotions in the heat of the moment. “They went down to nine men, and we made a silly mistake to get a red card ourselves,” he said. “It’s hard to win Premier League matches without composure.”
