Brighton 1-1 Crystal Palace LIVE! Maupay levels - Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today
Brighton vs Crystal Palace - LIVE!
A late Joachim Andersen own goal denied Crystal Palace what would have been the ultimate smash-and-grab win away at bitter rivals Brighton an Hove Albion on Friday night.
As is often case for the home side, they dominated the game in almost every way imaginable but struggled to put the ball in the back of the net.
A dramatic few minutes in the first-half saw Pascal Gross miss a penalty before Neal Maupay bundled in from a corner just seconds after, although VAR ruled that out for a foul on the excellent Jack Butland.
When Conor Gallagher smashed one in from point-blank range after 70 minutes, the home side must have feared the worst. Despite dominating, a goal proved as elusive as ever.
Still, excellent work from Maupay caused Andersen to put through his own net with minutes remaining.
This fixture never disappoints.

LATE SCENES 🤩
Brighton are level! They've got the goal they deserve at long last, but this is so cruel on Crystal Palace duo Joachim Andersen and Jack Butland, the two who combine to concede... pic.twitter.com/V1rzfLzW6K— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) January 14, 2022
GOAL: Brighton 1-1 Crystal Palace | Joachim Andersen ‘86
21:48 , Jonathan Gorrie
86:00 - Brilliant work from Maupay to create space in the box and his driven cross is deflected in by Joachim Andersen.

Familiar pattern
21:42 , Jonathan Gorrie
80:00 - All Brighton again but surely Palace will start to take heart from the fact they’re yet to score.
Still, this game is famous for its late drama.
Jack Rosser on Crystal Palace’s goal
21:34 , Jonathan Gorrie
For all the talk of a new Crystal Palace, this will be vintage Roy Hodgson if Palace pull this off. They’ve hardly had a look in all night and then pop up with that. Some fine work from Joel Ward early in that move.
GOAL: Brighton 0-1 Crystal Palace | Conor Gallagher ‘69
21:32 , Jonathan Gorrie
69:00 - You couldn’t write it.
Brighton dominate but some nice play from Palace has Gallagher free in the box as the ball breaks and the midfielder smashes home.
The away end erupts.
Double change for Palace
21:27 , Jonathan Gorrie
65: We make a double change:
⬅️ Eze & Edouard
➡️ Milivojevic & Mateta

Brighton in control
21:26 , Jonathan Gorrie
64:00 - Home fans no throwing out the ‘Ole’s’, such has been their teams’ dominance.
Still, it’s the old problem for Graham Potter’s side, they cannot score.
Hughes booked
21:22 , Jonathan Gorrie
60:00 - In real time, Will Hughes’ foul on Mac Allister looked an awful lot worse than it was.
While Jamie Carragher was hinting at a red, the former Watford man is only booked.
Injury problem for Brighton but more issues for Palace

55': Our first switch of the evening sees Tariq Lamptey replace Adam Lallana. 🔁

Patrick Vieira breaks a record

Vieira booked.
Has now been shown a yellow card in four different decades in English football.
Pleasing read for Palace fans

📊 Brighton have been awarded 4 PL penalties this season, all taken by different players (all of whom were on the pitch at the time of Gross’ miss)

CHANCE FOR BRIGHTON
21:11 , Jonathan Gorrie
49:00 - Brilliant stuff from Brighton sets Moder through one on one but Butland saves well.
Jack Rosser’s analysis on a chance for Crystal Palace
21:09 , Jonathan Gorrie
Finally a sprinkling of what Palace can offer - all after that scare from Moder. Olise with some brilliant work in the build up. Vieira will be hoping the young winger can inspire those around him in this second half.
CHANCE FOR BRIGHTON
21:08 , Jonathan Gorrie
46:00 - Moder hits the bar after a cross from the byline.
Palace living dangerously.
Trossard in behind early on
21:08 , Jonathan Gorrie
46:00 - Brighton starting the half well by pinning Palace back in their own box.
What else is new?
Back underway!
21:07 , Jonathan Gorrie
Surely Palace can only improve from here. No changes at the break.
Palace building for the future
20:52 , Jonathan Gorrie
23 - Crystal Palace have named six players aged 23 or younger (Olise, Guéhi, Gallagher, Mitchell, Eze and Édouard) in their starting XI for a Premier League match for the first time since March 1998 vs Aston Villa. Development.

And what a time to do it
20:52 , Jonathan Gorrie
1 - Jack Butland has saved a Premier League penalty for the first time, with Pascal Groß's penalty the 11th he's faced in the top-flight. Denied.
— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) January 14, 2022
Jack Rosser’s half-time verdict
20:51 , Jonathan Gorrie
Palace are fortunate to come through that first half unscathed. There were brief spells late on that will give them some encouragement but they need to step it up after the break.
HT: Brighton 0-0 Crystal Palace
20:49 , Jonathan Gorrie
Somehow, Palace head into the break on level terms.
A lookback at the crazy few minutes
20:49 , Jonathan Gorrie
CHAOS! 🤯
Patrick Vieira is FURIOUS as Brighton are awarded a penalty after a VAR check, but Jack Butland saves Pascal Gross' spot kick 🧤
Neal Maupay then scores from the resulting corner, only for Rob Jones to go back to the VAR monitor to disallow it! 😱

Jack Rosser on a crazy few minutes
20:42 , Jonathan Gorrie
What a few minutes after a rather steady spell in the game. Jack Butland is having some first half. He spared Joel Ward after his mistake earlier and then comes up with a penalty save. That goal was rightfully ruled out too. Some way to bounce back from his mistake at Millwall.
DISALLOWED
20:41 , Jonathan Gorrie
The drama continues, Maupay’s goal ruled out for a foul on Butland.
GOAL: Brighton 1-0 Crystal Palace | Neal Maupay ‘38
20:41 , Jonathan Gorrie
38:00 - Maupay taps in after a corner but VAR are checking. Could be ruled out.
SAVED!
20:40 , Jonathan Gorrie
Butland saves it.
PENALTY TO BRIGHTON!
20:39 , Jonathan Gorrie
Awarded. Gross to take.
Penalty claim
20:37 , Jonathan Gorrie
VAR checking a potential foul in the box. Could be a penalty for Brighton.
CHANCE FOR BRIGHTON
20:36 , Jonathan Gorrie
34:00 - Moder can’t quite direct his volley at Butland after a goalmouth scramble.
Not pretty so far.
A photo to sum up Palace’s performance so far...
20:35 , Jonathan Gorrie
Signs of life for Palace?
20:34 , Jonathan Gorrie
31:00 - Given Brighton’s famed struggles in front of goal, perhaps Palace can take heart from the fact they’ve not conceded yet.
Perhaps it could be another smash and grab...
Palace living dangerously
20:30 , Jonathan Gorrie
27:00 - Something needs to change.
All Brighton so far, having dominated the middle of the park all evening. With Milivojevic on the bench, he could be worth turning to.
Jack Rosser’s analysis
20:24 , Jonathan Gorrie
Palace need to get a grip in midfield here. They’ve had the odd flash through Olise but Brighton are in full control and edging closer to an opener. Every time Palace clear the ball is coming back and we’ve seen very little of Gallagher so far.
CHANCE FOR BRIGHTON
20:22 , Jonathan Gorrie
19:00 - Moder can’t quite find a teammate from a byline after some brilliant intricate passing between Lallana and Mac Allister.
WHAT A BALL FROM OLISE
20:21 , Jonathan Gorrie
18:00 - The youngster has switched side’s with Eze and put a wonderful ball into the box for Edouard, who is slightly offside.
When he’s on the ball, things happen.
Wasted cross from Mithchell
20:19 , Jonathan Gorrie
16:00 - Some good build-up play from Palace but Mitchell’s cross from the left is utterly wasted.
Missed everybody.
Heating up nicely
20:17 , Jonathan Gorrie
14:00 - Palace, to their credit, have looked dangerous.
Brighton might have had the better of it thus far but there’s been a few times the away side have looked to get in-behind.
Eze looks somewhat rusty which, of course, is understandable.
Brighton appear to notice a weakness
20:14 , Jonathan Gorrie
12:00 - Every time Brighton have the ball, they want to find Moder to run at Tyrek Mitchell.
Seems to be a tactic for the home side.
Jack Rosser’s analysis
20:13 , Jonathan Gorrie
This is a chance for Palace to show how far they’ve come under Patrick Vieira but they’ve had very little time and space to do so to this point. Brighton are trying to exploit Palace’s high line and nearly make it work thanks to that mistake from Ward. Butland doing well to spare the right-back’s blushes.
CHANCE FOR BRIGHTON
20:13 , Jonathan Gorrie
09:00 - Butland has just bailed Palace out.
A loose header from Joel Ward sets Trossard free into a 1v1 with the Palace stopper.
Butland, who was at fault away at Millwall in the FA Cup, spares Ward’s blushes.
Palace need to break the game up
20:10 , Jonathan Gorrie
07:00 - Not many teams are going to be able to out play Brighton at home.
What Palace need to do is break the game up a bit, potentially hitting them on the counter. Allowing Brighton to pass the ball about is a risky tactic.
Palace struggling to settle
20:08 , Jonathan Gorrie
05:00 - Lallana and Trossard helping Brighton keep the ball in dangerous areas.
Palace struggling to get out of their own 18-yard box. Need to see this out.
Great work from Lallana
20:06 , Jonathan Gorrie
03:00 - Lallana with a give and go to Mac Allister but can’t quite slip in Maupay.
Palace need to avoid him getting on the ball in dangerous areas.
Nice pressure from Gallagher
20:05 , Jonathan Gorrie
02:00 - You can see why fans adore Conor Gallagher.
The man has just run from his own half pretty much to press Brighton’s central defenders and goalkeeper early on.
Palace with some early pressure
20:03 , Jonathan Gorrie
01:00 - Few early throw ins on the left for Palace, pinning Brighton back somewhat.

19:14 , Jonathan Gorrie
7 - Crystal Palace have never won a Premier League game on a Friday, drawing three and losing four of their seven such games. Freaky.

Malik Ouzia’s feature on a new-look Crystal Palace
19:08 , Jonathan Gorrie
“Only twelve months ago, the thought of a Crystal Palace teamsheet without Wilfried Zaha on it would’ve caused sleepless nights for most Eagles fans and drawn yawns from many neutrals.
“Going into last February’s derby meeting with Brighton, you could not move for mentions of the fact that Roy Hodgson’s team had lost 18 of their previous 20 league games without the winger and, most damningly, failed to even score in all but four of them.
“Forget about taking a knife to a gun fight, so cautious and blunt were Palace without their talisman, it often felt like they were turning up with little more than a cardboard shield and a rolling pin.”

Your Evening Standard prediction
18:29 , Jonathan Gorrie
Palace have tended to score more goals since the two sides met in September but have been somewhat leaky in defence. For that reason, perhaps we can expect somewhat of a thriller.
2-2 draw.
Early Crystal Palace team news
18:17 , Jonathan Gorrie
Palace will be missing Jordan Ayew, Wilfried Zaha and Cheikhou Kouyate due to the AFCON but Conor Gallagher is available in the Premier League once more.
Having impressed in the FA Cup, Michael Olise could be in the XI, too. James McArthur and James Tomkins are both out, but Vicente Guaita should play.
