Monday Recap

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson took charge of the Eagles for the 100th time in all competitions on Monday against Brighton:

The visitors had the better of the first half at Selhurst Park but lacked a cutting edge in attack and could not find a way past Vicente Guaita in the Crystal Palace goal.

Martin Montoya had a claim for a penalty on 20 minutes. The right-back was caught by Jairo Riedewald in the penalty area but still managed to get a shot away that was tipped around the post by Guaita (UK video only).

The incident was checked by VAR and the decision not to award a penalty upheld, which drew criticism:

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace looked bereft of attacking ideas in the opening 45 minutes and did not manage a single shot:

Christian Benteke almost gave Palace the lead after the break with a cross into the box that beat goalkeeper Mat Ryan and hit the frame of the goal before flying to safety.

Brighton went on to take a deserved lead through Maupay on 54 minutes. Leandro Trossard found the Frenchman in space in the penalty area, and he had time to take a touch and lash a shot into the roof of the net:

Crystal Palace finally sparked into life as Brighton started to sit back and levelled through a spectacular effort from Zaha.

The forward went past Montoya and whipped an unstoppable effort past Ryan at his near post:

The Eagles pressed for a winner in the closing stages and looked the more likely side to score, but Brighton held on for the point that makes it three games unbeaten for Graham Potter's men.
