Munoz strike gives nine-man Crystal Palace win over Brighton

Crystal Palace winger Daniel Munoz netted a second-half winner as the Eagles secured a 2-1 Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, with Eddie Nketiah and Marc Guehi red-carded for the Eagles and Brighton's Jan Paul van Hecke also sent off late on.

Palace striker Jean-Philppe Mateta needed a little over two minutes to find the net, picking up a pass from Eberechi Eze and lashing home a dipping shot, but Brighton equalised through Danny Welbeck's close-range effort in the 31st minute.

Colombian winger Munoz got what turned out to be the winner 10 minutes into the second half, crowning a superb counter-attack by Eze with a deflected shot that flew into the net before the game descended into a flurry of late red cards.

Nketiah and Guehi were both sent off for picking up their second yellows. They were joined by Seagulls defender Van Hecke, who picked up his second yellow in stoppage time.

The Eagles moved to 11th spot in the table on 43 points, four behind eighth-placed Brighton.
