EPL: Maupay grabs dramatic equaliser for Brighton to deny Palace win

Neal Maupay equalised five minutes into injury time with almost the last kick of the game to steal a point for Brighton at Crystal Palace.

Prior to this, Wilfred Zaha’s penalty on the stroke of half-time seemed to have been enough, after Conor Gallagher was barged from behind by Leandro Trossard, leaving the former Manchester United winger one-on-one from 12 yards, and he made no mistake sending Robert Sanchez the wrong way.

Brighton, without the services of key midfielder Yves Bissouma due to a knee injury, were second best for most of the night and Palace not too threatened until the last moments.

Then Vicente Guaita’s long kick was hit back over the Eagles defence by Pascal Gross and Maupay on the bounce lobbed the Palace keeper before cupping his ears to the home fans.

Brighton remain sixth but just a point off top spot in the Premier League while Palace stay 15th.
