What were the highlights of Brighton's 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace?

Unknown 0:06
Knockout. Still knockout! Oh! Anthony Knockout has produced a moment of serious magic to restore Brighton's lead.
Liam Rosenior 0:22
What a way to win a match. All three points go to Brighton at Selhurst Park, and you can see what it means to all the players, including the captain and man of the match, Lewis Dunk, who joined in the celebrations with the Brighton supporters at the final whistle. Both goalscorers, Glenn Murray and Anthony Knockart, are with Greg Whelan.
Kelly Cates 0:41
Glenn, Anthony, very well done. Glenn, how special a result, both for the points and the bragging rights.
Glenn Murray 0:46
Yes, a huge result for us. We've come off the back of some poor form, got a crucial win last weekend, and to back it up this weekend with three points is big for us.
Anthony Knockaert 0:57
And Anthony, how special a goal was that to win it?

How did Anthony Knockaert's winning goal impact the match?

Anthony Knockaert 1:00
It's amazing, you know, great feeling. Obviously we were desperate to get back-to-back wins and we did it, so especially it's nice to help the team and obviously get the winning goal, especially for Derby. It's a special day for us and for the fans.
Kelly Cates 1:20
Well, Glenn, you know a bit about scoring goals, and we'll come on to yours in a second, but what did you make of his? Because we saw during the celebrations, you appeared to put your hand in front of your mouth almost in shock.
Glenn Murray 1:28
Well, I've seen him do that a number of times in training, and it always misses the target, to be fair. So when it comes off, I was quite shocked, but no, it was a superb finish and a goal worthy of winning any game, I think.
Kelly Cates 1:40
Tell us what was going through your mind, and have you scored many better?
Anthony Knockaert 1:43
No, to be fair, I saw a space for me to go inside, so I went inside. I could have hit it the first time, but I felt like it was too close to me, the left back, and I wanted to take an extra touch. Obviously, I had more space to take it perfectly. I did it, so yeah, it's a superb finish. But more importantly, I'm really buzzing for the three points today.
Kelly Cates 2:06
Turned out to be the last thing you did on the pitch, wasn't it? But in some respects, were you perhaps a little fortunate to still be on the pitch after that challenge on Milivojevic early in the game?
Anthony Knockaert 2:16
No, I spoke to the ref at half-time, and obviously we said that we both went for the ball, but I was a bit late. It's always like this, the ref told me that if I got the ball first, he would have been booked himself. I think we both went for the same goal, to get the ball, but he came first, so I touched him a bit. As I said, he was... It was a challenge and the ref just dealt with it.
Kelly Cates 2:50
So not a bad goal for you either, but were you a little surprised, Glenn, to be on the pitch at that moment?
Glenn Murray 2:54
Yeah, I thought you meant I should have been sent off, but no, obviously it wasn't meant to be starting today. Unfortunate for Florian, five minutes before the kick-off he felt he was growing a little bit, so I got drafted in late doors and it was nice to get a goal.

What does Glenn Murray say about his performance and the team's morale?

Kelly Cates 3:09
Great to get the three points, not a bad boost ahead of an FA Cup quarter-final next weekend either, is it?
Glenn Murray 3:14
Yeah, huge, like I say, referring back to last week, that was a big one, a big one this week, and then we'll look towards another huge one following weekend up South London again.
Kelly Cates 3:23
And just very finally, that's 100 league goals in a Brighton shirt, special moment and not a bad game to get it in.
Glenn Murray 3:28
Yeah, no, you know what, things like that don't bother me yet, it's something to look back on and just delighted to get the three points.
Kelly Cates 3:34
Great result, guys, very well done today. Thank you very much.
Liam Rosenior 3:39
So two goals for Brighton at Selhurst Park this afternoon. Four attempts, three of them on target, but in terms of how likely they were to score from those chances, the expected goals 0.16 on only five occasions this season in the Premier League, has there been a lower expected goals rating? It's not how you win and lose matches, Liam. However, it does show how difficult those chances were.
Unknown 4:03
Yeah, the two goals for me aren't even chances, they're just wonderful strikes. Even Glenn's, the first goal from Glenn is an outstanding, it's top class, the top class.
