The bragging rights belong to CP. The South London boys came dressed to impress. The Albion may have been undefeated in six in the A23 derby; but new Kings hold the Crown. Stormzy said ‘Own It’ and now they do. They turned Brighton’s home into their Palace and stuck three in the net just to prove it.

The only L Palace took this afternoon. Raised in Gispy Hill, balled out in Norbury. Lambeth’s lad is South London through and through. On another note, Ismaila Sarr put the Prem on notice. Catch him on an APB cuz he’s a wanted man. Palace’s number 7 is A Proper Baller. Two goals to put the Seagulls to bed, and one assist to tuck them in. Nothing was going to stop him from claiming the W today. Brighton pulled one back deep into the second half, but Palace pushed all the way to the final whistle.
Palace may be sitting 15th but the only way is up for Glasners boys. They’ll be hoping to pull Brighton down on their climb. Brighton’s loss saw them miss out on a top six seat for now, but the Albion will go again. CPFC will be hoping this win is the turning point of their season but only time will tell. The Eagles showed the South Coast Seagulls who the true highflyers are.
