BRIGHTON, England (Interstat) — Substitute Ismaïla Sarr scored in the 61st minute to give Crystal Palace a 1-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Sunday at The American Express Stadium.

The decisive goal came after a trio of second-half substitutes combined. Daniel Muñoz and Will Hughes assisted Jørgen Strand Larsen, who then fed Sarr for the finish. The result defied pregame projections that heavily favored Brighton.

The match was physical, featuring four yellow cards. The win gives Crystal Palace a perfect start to the league campaign, while Brighton begins with a loss.
