Match report
Brighton won 5-0 at the American Express Stadium after overturning an early own goal and pulling clear after the break. Crystal Palace went ahead in the 4th minute through Jaydee Canvot's own goal, before Brighton answered with five unanswered goals.
Diego Gomez equalised in the 7th minute from Olivier Boscagli's pass, and Yasin Ayari put Brighton ahead three minutes later with Charalampos Kostoulas providing the assist. Brighton led 2-1 at half-time.
Charalampos Kostoulas made it 3-1 in the 49th minute, and the match moved further away from Crystal Palace after two Palace changes on 61 minutes and Brighton's double substitution on 71 minutes. Jack Hinshelwood, who had come on in the 71st minute, scored Brighton's fourth in the 84th minute to seal it. Brighton then made two more changes on 81 minutes, while Crystal Palace also replaced Daichi Kamada in that window.
The numbers backed Brighton's control. They had 57% of the ball, 516 passes and 17 shots to Crystal Palace's 43%, 384 passes and five shots, with 9 on target to 1. Brighton also had 2.02 expected goals to 0.77, won 8 corners to 5 and made five saves against Crystal Palace's one.
