What happened in the Crystal Palace vs. Brighton match?

David Jones 0:06
Brossard, into the danger area, Mopé! There's no stopping this man at the moment! There's Tompkins, let's go for the Zaha. Zaha! Absolutely fantastic from Wilfred Zaha!
Jamie Carragher 0:33
didn't score in the Premier League until November. That's 3-5 for him now. He's scored more goals against Brighton now than he has any other club. 11 attempts from Palace in the end. Their first came in the 68th minute of this game. 10 on target for Brighton. That's the highest they've ever had in a Premier League away game. Expected goals. You see how much... The chances they created were better, almost four times higher than Palace's figure.

How did Wilfried Zaha's performance impact the game?

Jamie Carragher 0:59
That's the highest they've had in a Premier League away game and their possession of 66%, the third highest they've managed in the away game. But they've ended up just with a point because of the Saha's equaliser. And here he is now with Greg Wheeler.
Greg Whelan 1:13
What was the mixture of joy and perhaps relief to battle back for a point there?
Conor Coady 1:17
Yeah, today is obviously a big game for both of the teams. And I'm just glad we managed to get back in it, really. If you can't win it, don't lose. So, yeah, I'm glad we managed to get that point at least.
Greg Whelan 1:30
And how good is it to see that ball go in?
Conor Coady 1:32
With your weaker foot, no less. I don't know. I was just so overjoyed. I was just glad I managed to get the goal for the team because we worked so hard. We've got a good run going, so I'm glad we can carry it on.
Greg Whelan 1:45
Up to then, do Brighton deserve credit for limiting the amount of ball that you got, the amount of opportunities that you and your fellow strikers got today?

What are Conor Coady's thoughts on Wolves' ambitions?

Conor Coady 1:53
Yeah, definitely, because we barely had the ball. So even having attacks, we were too tired to even do anything. So props to them, they did their job in the first half, but we had to do some for the second half.
Greg Whelan 2:06
You're no stranger to scoring a goal or two against Brighton, are you? When you look back over them, just how does this compare, perhaps in terms of its importance?
Conor Coady 2:14
Each goal is massive, really, because this is a big game. So over the time, obviously, there's been more important goals, but I feel like every game, every goal I can get in a game is important, so I'm glad I could get one today.
Greg Whelan 2:27
And do you feel overall that it was a deserved point, the way Palace did battle back in that second half?
Conor Coady 2:32
Yeah, definitely. We didn't have the best first half because we basically didn't do anything. But second half, I think we pushed on, we pressed them, and I feel like we deserved a point at least.
David Jones 2:43
The main thing was not to lose this one, was it? Particularly with the injuries you've got at the moment.
Conor Coady 2:46
Yeah, it's been hard with the injuries, but Gaffer's managed to do what he could and we managed to draw the game today.
David Jones 2:52
Well done today.

How does Wolves' current performance compare to previous seasons?

Conor Coady 2:53
Thanks.
Jamie Carragher 2:55
Will relief be the main emotion in that Palace dressing room, do you think? I think so, yeah, I think so. I thought for large spells, Brighton dominated. I think it was the last 20 minutes that Palace actually pushed on. But I thought it was two good teams playing football. I thought we were really impressed with Brighton in terms of how they played. We mentioned it before the game as well, but I thought two really good goals in the game as well. Will they feel like it's two points dropped then, Brighton, given how much they dominated the first hour of this game? Yeah, I think so. But I think you've got to give... It felt like during the game when we were watching the game that Brighton needed that second goal.
Jamie Carragher 3:22
I really did think that because they've got some dangerous players, Crystal Palace, who can hit. You've seen that with the goal. I thought the goal was fantastic from Wilfred Zaha. But like I said, I just felt like during the game it needed that second goal just to try and kill it off, really.

What challenges is Everton facing with potential manager Carlo Ancelotti?

Jamie Carragher 3:32
Well, Neil Mope scored their goal. Also had a big chance to make it 2-0 at one point. He's speaking now with Greg Whelan.
Greg Whelan 3:39
Neil, a point apiece, but are you feeling you should have had all three today?
Neil Maupay 3:43
Yes, definitely. I think we should have won the game. We played better than them. We had chances. We put pressure on them.
