Highlights
▶
Brighton finished eighth with 53 points last season while Crystal Palace ended down in fifteenth with 45 points, and this matchday 7 encounter widened that gap further as Brighton moved into second place in the table.
Brighton entered this fixture on a four-match unbeaten run across all competitions, having kept three consecutive clean sheets and scored in six straight outings. Crystal Palace arrived following a recent home win against Nottingham, holding a record of two wins from their first six matches this season.
Recent history between these clubs has favoured Crystal Palace, who won their previous visit here on 8 February 2026. However, this match followed a different pattern as Brighton established control through goals from Diego Gomez, Yasin Ayari, Charalampos Kostoulas, and Jack Hinshelwood alongside an early own goal by Jaydee Canvot, supported by an 8.7 rating for Kostoulas and an 8.2 rating for Ayari.
Brighton next play away at Liverpool on 25 October.
