This winter has been challenging for Crystal Palace, but the tide may be turning thanks to Ismaïla Sarr.
The Senegalese winger, who scored twice in last season’s victory over bitter rivals Brighton, has found the net again, giving Oliver Glasner’s team an early lead at the Amex Stadium today.

Sarr’s goal was a stunning display of skill, as he received a through ball from Evann Guessand and surged forward to strike past Bart Verbruggen, marking Palace’s first shot on target at the Amex.
After a disappointing stretch without a win since early December, encompassing nine league matches, Palace is now poised for a vital victory that could elevate them above the Seagulls.
Will they be able to maintain their lead?
