Trevoh Chalobah opened the scoring for Crystal Palace in the 27th minute. He capitalised on a well-placed corner from Will Hughes, finding the back of the net from close range amidst confusion in Brighton's penalty area.

Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen managed to make a double save. However, Sarr extended Palace's lead six minutes later. He connected with a deep cross from Tyrick Mitchell, scoring a brilliant header.

Brighton increased their attacking pressure after halftime. Despite their efforts, Sarr struck again, notching his second goal of the match, making a comeback difficult for the home side.

Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace's center back, inadvertently scored an own goal in the 87th minute. However, this late goal didn't change the outcome of the match.

With this victory, Crystal Palace extended their unbeaten streak in the league to five games. They moved up to 15th place in the standings, accumulating 16 points from 16 matches.
