Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Crystal Palace are winless in their last six league games against Brighton – their longest run without a victory against the Seagulls since a run of 10 between 1979 and 1986 – but as things stand they're on track to make that record obselete!

Palace have flipped our live win probability tracker on its head with that first-half display, and now sit on an 81.3% chance of victory with the hosts down on just 5.1% themselves. Brighton have it all to do in this second half, as Ayari gets us back underway at the Amex.

Substitution Tariq Kwame Nii-Lante Lamptey Julio César Enciso Espínola

Sarr's goal and assist in the first half have made all the difference for Palace, getting the final touch before Chalobah's opener and arriving at speed to head in their second six minutes later. The Senegal winger has produced three shots from five touches in the box for an xG of 0.67 himself, as well as creating one chance from his six final-third passes. Sarr has also won four of his six on-the-ball duels so far, putting in two tackles and winning a free-kick, as his contribution puts the Eagles in control on the south coast.

There's the half-time whistle, and despite these two sides' contrasting positions in the Premier League table, it's Crystal Palace who are in total control at the break with a 2-0 lead over Brighton! The hosts started brightly and produced most of their 0.33 xG in the opening minutes, with Mitoma forcing a save from Henderson and Ayari having two speculative efforts from outside the box. Palace made all the difference in a six-minute spell though, going 1-0 up through Chalobah following a goalmouth corner scramble, and Sarr heading in Mitchell's cross at the far post to double the lead. The visitors produced 1.35 xG in total, seeing further chances for Munoz and Eze going astray, and will be looking to press home their advantage with the second half coming up.

HALF-TIME: BRIGHTON 0-2 CRYSTAL PALACE.

Yellow Card Addji Keaninkin Marc-Israel Guéhi

WIDE!!! Lamptey pops up on the edge of the box as Van Hecke plays the ball into his feet, but the right-back's left-footed effort skews well off target for Brighton.

Dunk and Sarr do battle again as Chalobah looks to release his winger in behind, but Dunk is able to get the ball back to Verbruggen, who clears.

We'll play four additional minutes to close out a first half which has gone pretty much perfectly for the away side here.
