Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Crystal Palace FC get us underway at Selhurst Park.
- 5' Brighton & Hove Albion FC have won 477 goals from 346 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Brighton & Hove Albion FC that had 346 games and scored 477 goals.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' Lewis Dunk needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 25' Jordan Ayew has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 28' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Adam Lallana.

- 47' A stunning finish from Wilfried Zaha — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 52' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 57' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
