3 players were sent in a wild end in Selhurst Park in 18 minutes when Crystal Palace Brighton defeated 2-1.
Nine-man crystal palace completes a league double over Brighton, who was also a man in the last whistle; Mateta brought palace into an early lead before Welbeck paved; Munoz restored the palace’s lead before Nketiah, Guehi and Van Hecke saw red.
This victory for Palast means that you won five of your last six games in all competitions and are only two points from the top half of the Premier League table. Brighton remains 8 ..

Crystal Palace Boss Glasner about his feelings after the game: “It’s a massive victory, but I’m really exhausted because there was so much going on and (because of) this atmosphere in the stadium.
“The team’s fighting spirit and the togetherness with our fans are easy to experience.
“We have very often talked about these moments that you cannot buy. You cannot buy, you have to experience and that is great to have this experience and be part of it. Nevertheless, I’m really happy to be on my sofa and just do nothing today.”
When participating with crowd chants: “I could see how the players fought together in many situations.
“Brighton is such a good team, so fast player and I felt that they needed all the support we can give.
“It was a fantastic atmosphere. I needed something to do with my arms because I couldn’t keep them in my pockets. In the end it is a really fantastic victory today.”
If I have the feeling that a stop time would never end: “We defended with a lot of passion, with a lot of heart, but always wait for this moment. This is the way of thinking, this togetherness, this spirit that everyone could see.
“As a JP (Mateta) and Maxence (Lacroix) celebrated on the field, but it was still not over because we thought we might be playing until sunset. This spirit is incredible. It is the character of this group and the character of these players.”
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler about the exhibition of the game: “Very emotional game, a very wild game. Difficult to bring a rhythm into this game, especially in the second half.
“That was a bit of our disadvantage. We couldn’t control the game as in the first half due to everything. The emotional last part of the game didn’t help us to control it.
Not ripe enough in his team? “It is particularly important in derbies to stay rational. Of course, these feelings have in them, but in the right moments and the right timing.
“In some moments we weren’t ripe enough. It didn’t help us get the rhythm back, and we have to learn that.”
Twitter users thought their thoughts after they sent 3 players in the wild end in 18 minutes when Crystal Palace Brighton defeated 2-1 …
@Ollyallison: Not even all of our players needed! Seriously, that was stressful in the last 12 minutes … #cpfc
@Matthewpharris: I never have a palace game as it saw What a victory
@Perez6374: damn hell that felt like an eternity
@rbbcpfc1990: I’m not sure if I will ever see an end to such a game again. Selhurst rocked. 6 points against this lot and a trip to Wembley to come. We have Super Oli Glasner … #cpfc
@Palace_Sean: What a mental game, fair fuck for the boys to hold on, 3 points Ole Oleeee again
@ClaireGinton: things that you are welcome to see
@Mattjohnson18_: I want a statue for the 9 men who stand for full -time pipe. I don’t care that Chilwell plays for Chelsea to lay the foundations
@Cunners23: We can moan whether the red cards were booked. There was contact on Nketiah, but that was a dive. Regardless of the first bookings, both second yellow cards were stupid challenges and earned a second booking. But who cares, we won #cpfc
@Johnvince20: In terms of sending off’s offs, Saken, Marc got ball on 1. YC, but has to say, was a silly challenge for the 2. Yc. As for Eddie, I thought, he was possible on the 1. YC, but again silly challenge for the 2. Yc. Some curious activity of Anthony Taylor … again! #Cpfc
@IMAMTHEJLAW: Examined today for Anthony Taylor. Did his best to make sure that Brighton got something out of the game, but was just neglected. #Cpfc
@Aw_cpfc:
The last 10 minutes
Every tackle
Every release
Right damned palace
@JSB93X: 9 damn men #bhafc #cpfc
