Three sent off as Crystal Palace cling on to beat Brighton

Nine-man Crystal Palace clung on to a 2-1 lead through 12 minutes of second-half added time at Selhurst Park to secure their first league double over arch-rivals Brighton in 92 years.

Jean-Philippe Mateta fired the hosts in front three minutes in, but Danny Welbeck drew the sides level before the break, surpassing Pascal Gross as Brighton’s top Premier League goal-scorer in the process.

Daniel Munoz put Palace back in front 10 minutes after the restart before both Eddie Nketiah and Marc Guehi were sent off with second yellow cards.

‘Selectorial bingo’ from Guardiola

Pep Guardiola’s latest game of selectorial bingo has produced a side with a surfeit of holding midfielders, a shortage of out-and-out wingers, quite a lot of academy players and yet several experienced ones. James McAtee makes his first league start for City as one of three homegrown players in the initial 11; with Rico Lewis, who always scores against Palace, and Nico O’Reilly, but minus the injured Phil Foden. Palace, meanwhile, are without the suspended Marc Guehi and Eddie Nketiah.
