'It was a relief"published at 16:44 GMT 8 February
FT: Brighton 0-1 Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "At the end, yes. The first half was not so good but we were very competitive in the duals. We took our chance. It was a good chance for them as well. Clean sheet, winning after months of not winning and then in an away game against Brighton, where it means so much for our fans. A great Sunday afternoon.
"It was a relief. We can talk and analyse but you can never replace a win. We deserved it at the end, we couldn't expect to play our best football but we were very compact and aggressive.
"Our defenders did so well. Jeff Lerma had six or seven balls to clear but we were never surprised. We knew how they wanted to play. We didn't give them a lot of crosses. We didn't allow them to get a second chance. Everyone did their job.
On Strand Larsen: "Huge effort and was a permanent threat. He was doing so well with the small pieces. He defended the set plays so well. It was not perfect, I told him that after the game but it will be easier for him after three or four weeks."

'We will find solutions'published at 16:41 GMT 8 February
FT: Brighton 0-1 Crystal Palace
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, speaking Sky Sports: “I think we didn’t have plenty of chances but controlled the game. We came into good areas but didn’t finalise it and we made one mistake. We had wrong decisions when we conceded and then afterwards, we looked quite fragile. We didn’t show the right reactions, which was disappointing. It was not good enough today. We are all disappointed. The loss of energy, the loss of intensity, I was not happy because it just was not good enough.
“We were in the right places but you need to finalise and finish an attack and that is something we definitely need to improve.
“Football is in a big part played in your mind. When the mind is not in the perfect place then of course you lack confidence and that is something we have to face. You get confidence back with good results and to get good results you have to work hard.”
"Everyone is allowed to share their emotions. It is not an easy moment to handle. I need to face this adversity and face these boos and I need to commit to the club and I am 100% committed. All I can promise is that we will find solutions. For me personally it is not the manin thing. I try to absorb all the criticism on me because I am responsible."
'We know we have problems'published at 16:40 GMT 8 February
FT: Brighton 0-1 Crystal Palace
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to BBC Sport: “Not an easy moment or situation but that is football and we will face. The game was not our best game so we have to be self-critical.
“Until the first goal, it was not our best game but it was how we reacted. We didn’t stay in our structure and made easy mistakes. Goals always happen after mistakes. This game was decided by individual tackles, duels and personal mistakes.
“We are all disappointed and know we have problems at the moment but it is about finding solutions.
"It is football. I have to accept emotions are part of the game I am fully committed to this club and try my best along with the players."
'We need to take responsibility'published at 16:39 GMT 8 February
FT: Brighton 0-1 Crystal Palace
Brighton captain Lewis Dunk, speaking to Sky Sports: "I don't think as a group of players at the moment, we're not doing enough, we're not good enough. We need to take responsibility. We need to take a look at ourselves in the mirror and do something about that.
"We're not doing enough as a group, we're not training hard enough and we didn't show enough fight. The only way is to stick together and bounce back.
"It's football and football, if you look at the last couple of games, we probably deserved more but that's football. We have to keep trying and hopefully we can get out of this run.
"It comes in training every day. The winning mentality in the training session and the hunger to get better. We know we need to step up. That's on us as a group of players. There's another game on Wednesday and maybe we can be in a different conversation then.
On the fans booing: "They're frustrated, I get it. We need them to stick with us. We've not done enough today as a manager. We've been in worse positions than this as a football club. We were around that relegation fight over the first few years and it was hard."

FT: Brighton 0-1 Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's a lot of relief. I told the players we can talk about it and do everything, but you need to win and that's what they did today. Congratulations to them. Maybe it wasn't the best Premier League game ever, but both teams were fighting hard. Feeling absolutely great.
"It was the clean sheet that helped us. First half, we didn't create enough, it's normal with players in their first competitive game together. Sarr wins the second ball and then it's a great run. Today we took the chance. 10 minutes later, they had a similar situation, but Dean saved the ball.
"It's quality and decision making. He scored with his left, but it's the quality of Guessend. He's strong and clever. It's getting used to the intensity of the Premier League. Jorgen Strand Larsen was working so hard for the team. I think we gave them one chance. A huge team effort and that's what we needed.
"It's the experience. In tight games, it's all about consistency. We played well in the other games, but we make one mistake and get punished. We were good in defence. We did the basics right.
On Strand Larsen: "It's the effort. He will get better and better. I told him after the game in three or four weeks, he will know where to pass it. He's not used to the way we are playing. His effort and presence. He defended the set plays well. He was a constant threat and that's very positive.
"It's important to stay humble. We had some barbecues and tried to keep he mood positive at the training ground but nothing can replace winning. We want to get addicted to winning again."

Crystal Palace forward Jorgen Strand Larsen speaking Sky Sports: "I had cramps all over at the finish. It was an unbelievable atmosphere and what a way to start my Crystal Palace career, with a win in a derby. We are really happy.
“Really important with the run without wins. So for me to come in and help the team win the first game in a long time is really important. The fans backed us a lot today and were signing all game. It gave us lots of energy. I think this is the most intense game I’ve ever played so really tired but it was worth it.
“I think you see today that I got a few chances. The style of play suits me. It is intense, high pressure and we had a few chances. The more we train together they will know my qualities. I think I had a good game today but there is a lot of improvement as well but a really good start to my journey here.
“I feel like the first six months at Wolves [this season] was tough. I wish it was different because I loved the club and it was hard taking the next step but it was something I needed to do.”

I’m by no means Hurzeler out but something needs to change with the tactics, we lack attacking momentum and instead choose to pass the ball back to Verbruggen.

Ismaila Sarr's 10th goal of the season ends Crystal Palace's winless run
Charalampos Kostoulas denied by Dean Henderson in Brighton's best chance
Seagulls without a top-flight victory since beating Burnley 2-0 on 3 January
ByMatthew Howarth
BBC Sport journalist
Ismaila Sarr scored the only goal as Crystal Palace ended a nine-game winless Premier League run with victory over rivals Brighton at the Amex Stadium.
The game had been drifting towards an insipid goalless draw until Sarr collected second-half substitute Evann Guessand's pass and calmly lifted the ball over Bart Verbruggen to break the deadlock with Palace's first shot on target.
Unsurprisingly, given both teams' lack of form, the first half was largely devoid of quality or creativity, with Brighton full-back Maxim de Cuyper's tame strike from the edge of the area the only effort on target from either side before the break.
Brighton captain Lewis Dunk posed a threat, lifting a header over the bar from a Pascal Gross corner before nodding wide from the German's free-kick delivery 15 minutes later.
Oliver Glasner's Palace improved towards the end of the first half, but Adam Wharton blazed wide from the edge of the area before Sarr sliced an effort off target when under pressure from Dunk.
Chances remained at a premium until just after the hour mark, when Sarr beat Verbruggen for his 10th goal of the season in all competitions.
Teenage Brighton forward Charalampos Kostoulas was denied by Dean Henderson not long after Sarr's opener, but there was no way back for Fabian Hurzeler's home team, who are without a win in the league since beating struggling Burnley on 3 January.
Crystal Palace analysis: Battling win eases pressure on Glasner
Victory against Brighton is a relief - Glasner
Set against the backdrop of last season's superb FA Cup victory, the past two months have been largely pure gloom for Palace.
The Eagles had been without a win since beating Shelbourne in the Conference League on 11 December - when they were still in the Premier League's top four.
But Sunday's battling victory over their fierce rivals will go some way to lifting pressure that had been building around Glasner, who is planning to leave at the end of the season.
Striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, who looked set to follow Marc Guehi out of Selhurst Park in the transfer window, was unavailable for this game because of the knee injury that caused his AC Milan move to break down last Monday.
His absence meant Jorgen Strand Larsen was handed his full debut on the south coast. The former Wolves striker had little joy in the first half, although he went close to inadvertently putting Palace ahead when he got in the way of Carlos Baleba's attempted clearance deep inside the Brighton penalty area.
Strand Larsen also had a powerful shot saved by Verbruggen as Palace looked to establish a two-goal cushion late in the second half.
It was another Palace debutant who managed to unlock the Seagulls as Guessand - a loan arrival from Aston Villa - held off Olivier Boscagli's challenge before sending Sarr racing clear for the game's only goal.
The narrow win lifts the Eagles above their rivals and on to 32 points - nine clear of the relegation zone.
Brighton analysis: Fans turn ire on Hurzeler
Brighton are definitely not in an easy situation - Hurzeler
Having made their feelings clear following last weekend's 1-1 draw at home against Everton, Brighton fans once more directed their ire towards manager Hurzeler at the end of Sunday's encounter.
The full-time whistle was met by a chorus of boos from the home supporters, with some chanting "you don't know what you're doing" in the direction of the 32-year-old as he made his way off the pitch.
Brighton were marginally the better side in the opening 30 minutes, but De Cuyper's low shot - easily held by Henderson - was all they produced against a Palace side who were evidently lacking in confidence.
Henderson did well to save Kostoulas' low drive after Sarr's opener, but there was little else in the way of a response as the home side faded badly.
The 2-0 victory over Burnley last month stands as Brighton's only victory in their latest 12 league matches - only Burnley and Wolves have picked up fewer points in that time.
There was to be no late cameo for Brighton substitute James Milner, who would have drawn level with Gareth Barry at the top of the Premier League's all-time appearance list if he had come off the bench.
However, there was a first senior start for teenage winger Harry Howell, who became the youngest player to begin a top-flight game for the Seagulls, aged 17 years and 294 days.
What's next for these teams?
Both teams are back in Premier League action on Wednesday, 11 February (19:30 GMT) as Brighton travel to third-placed Aston Villa and Palace welcome Burnley to Selhurst Park.

Match Facts
Brighton have won just two of their last 13 Premier League games against Crystal Palace (D7 L4), though both victories in that time have come at home.
Crystal Palace have won two of their last three Premier League games against Brighton (D1), as many as they had in the previous 12 (D6 L4).
Since the start of December, only Wolves (6) and Burnley (5) have won fewer points in the Premier League than both Brighton and Crystal Palace (9 each), with the Eagles also having the joint-worst goal difference in that time (minus 10 – scored 8, conceded 18).
Brighton and Hove Albion have won just one of their last four Premier League matches when going ahead (D1 L2), having gone on to win nine of their previous 11 games when leading beforehand (D2). They have gone ahead but failed to win in each of their last two (D1 L1), never previously doing so in three in a row in the competition.
Crystal Palace are winless in nine Premier League matches (D3 L6), last going 10+ games without a victory between January and March 2023 (12).
Since MD16 – the start of Crystal Palace’s nine game winless Premier League run – the Eagles have scored the fewest goals (5) and underperformed their xG by just over eight goals (13.3 xG), the worst differential in the league. The second-worst in this time is Brighton (9 goals, 13.5 xG, -4.5).
In the last two seasons, the only ever-present clubs to lose fewer home Premier League games than Brighton (4) are Liverpool and Arsenal (3 each), with the Seagulls losing just two of their last 20 at the Amex (W10 D8), both against Aston Villa (0-3 in April 2025, 3-4 in December 2025).
Only Jean-Philippe Mateta (10) has more goals in all competitions for Crystal Palace in 2025-26 than Ismaïla Sarr (9) – he also scored two and assisted another on his last appearance at the Amex in December 2024 in a 3-1 Palace win.
Brighton’s James Milner could equal Gareth Barry’s Premier League record for appearances in this game, with Milner one behind Barry’s 653-game total. Although they would be level for games played, Milner has played 14,031 fewer minutes in the competition currently than Barry clocked up in his 653 games.
Pascal Groß became the first Brighton player to score under all four of their Premier League managers with his goal against Everton on MD24 (10 in 63 for Hughton, 10 in 98 for Potter, 10 in 67 for de Zerbi, 1 in 5 for Hürzeler). The only other player to score under 100% of a team’s managers in the Premier League – having played under at least four – is Peter Ndlovu at Coventry City (Gould, Neal, Atkinson, Strachan).
