Brighton Sees Long Winless Run End, Manager Faces Relegation Battle After Sarr Strikes in Satisfying Fashion
Crystal Palace finally broke their 12-match winless streak in the Premier League with a resounding victory over Brighton, thanks to Ismaïla Sarr's late strike. The Senegal forward's goal proved to be the difference-maker as Palace secured a hard-fought three points against their arch-rivals.
The win has breathed new life into Palace's season, but it also poses significant concerns for manager Oliver Glasner. With several high-profile signings this summer, including Evann Guessand and Jørgen Strand Larsen, many had expected Palace to make a push for European competition. Instead, they have struggled to find consistency, losing their last 12 league games.
Glasner's own future at the club hangs in the balance after his team fell behind Brighton in the table. With only six wins from their past 16 matches, Brighton looks on track for a relegation battle. Despite this, manager Fabian Hürzeler appears undeterred, citing his side's ability to "get through it" and learn from their mistakes.
Brighton's struggles are largely attributed to their inability to finish off teams convincingly. They have consistently found themselves in situations where they can't capitalize on their possession advantage. In contrast, Palace have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly with Strand Larsen making a positive impact in his first start since joining the club.
For Brighton, the win was a welcome relief, and manager Oliver Glasner expressed a sense of gratitude towards his fans for supporting them through thick and thin. Despite the disappointment of another defeat, the team's unity remains strong, with Glasner crediting the fans for being disappointed along with him.
While Palace have secured a much-needed three points, their winless run raises serious concerns about their ability to compete against top-tier opponents. As the season wears on, it will be crucial for both teams to regroup and refocus in order to avoid slipping further down the table.

this Sarr goal was insane, like what a strike!!! 
Palace needed that win so bad, can't believe they went 12 games without one now 
What's going on with Brighton? They had it all, then just... fell apart 
And poor old Glasner is fighting for his job again 
guess the fans were feeling his pain as well! 
dey were supposed 2 b doin better wiv all dem big signings this summer... now dey're strugglin' 2 stay up 
palace got some serious talent but can't capitalize on it 
manager glasner might be outta a job soon, and i think dat's a good ting 4 Brighton 
dey need a fresh start
, otherwiseglasner's job is gonna get harder 
️
and I gotta say, Brighton's 12-match winless streak is wild 
! They got a big 3-0 loss just last week to Arsenal 
, but now they're back on track with this 2-1 win over Palace. That Ismaïla Sarr strike was pure magic 
!
. With 6 wins from their last 16 matches, they're basically fighting for survival 
.
. Will Brighton get back on track and make a push for the top 7? Can Palace sort out their issues and sneak into European competition? 
Only time will tell! 
I feel for Brighton's manager, Fabian Hürzeler... he's gotta be gettin' so much pressure from the fans and the board right now. 12 match winless streak is insane! 
They were expected to do some damage in the Premier League this season, but it seems like they're facin' a real fight for survival. 
On the other hand, Palace's win might be just what they needed to get their season back on track... but those high-profile signings gotta start deliverin' results ASAP! 
The Premier League is so competitive right now, and you can't afford to slip up. Fingers crossed both teams can regroup and come back stronger! 
Palace got lucky with that win but it's gonna be tough for them to climb back up the table 
its gonna be an interesting end to the season for both teams, palace gotta regroup and prove themselves against top teams while brighton just needs to keep getting wins 
. They're still really struggling to find consistency, and now they've got a manager who might not be able to turn things around 
. Meanwhile, Brighton is just trying to "get through it" 
... they need to work on finishing off teams convincingly instead of always finding ways to lose 
. 12 matches without a win? That's like me trying to watch every Marvel movie back-to-back and failing miserably 
.
. I remember when they signed those big-name players this summer, everyone thought they were gonna be a dark horse contender... now they're just trying to survive 
?
i dont know man, palace needs to figure out how to string some wins together or else they'll be fighting for their lives in the playoffs 
Stranding (get it?) 6 wins from their last 16 matches is a concerning trend! 
Not exactly what they needed to boost morale after that win 
What do you think about these stats? 
. It's not going to cut it in the Premier League.
. But you gotta give Fabian Hürzeler credit, he's still trying to keep hope alive 
.
. Hopefully they can turn things around soon and get back to competing with the best of 'em 
meanwhile brighton's struggles are more understandable they were already on thin ice after losing their last 10 or so matches 
and sarr's goal was insane what a way to break that winless streak 
. Palace got lucky with that Sarr goal tho 
! But seriously, both teams need to get their acts together and start scoring some crucial goals
