# Crystal Palace: Fans reminisce over victory against Brighton

**Many Crystal Palace fans are reminiscing after the club posted the highlights of their great victory against rivals Brighton at Selhurst Park back on this day (April 14th) in 2018.**

The Eagles beat the Seagulls 3-2 thanks do a double from Wilfried Zaha and one from centre-back James Tomkins, whilst Glenn Murray and José Izquierdo scored the goals for the visitors. It was a thrilling game as all five goals were scored in the first half, via [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43678370).

It gave the South London side bragging rights which they have retained during this campaign, as Roy Hodgson’s side have already played both games against Brighton, drawing the first 1-1 in December and then winning 1-0 at the Amex thanks to a goal from Jordan Ayew, per[11v11.](https://www.11v11.com/teams/crystal-palace/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Brighton%20and%20Hove%20Albion/)

Brighton have not had the greatest of starts to the calendar year, as they are yet to win a game in 2020, and with football being postponed due to recent events it is unknown when that next win will come, [Premier League](https://www.premierleague.com/clubs/131/Brighton-and-Hove-Albion/overview).
