Three goals, three red cards, and 12 minutes of stoppage time provided plenty of added intensity to an M23 derby that saw nine-man Crystal Palace beat 10-man Brighton at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Sam: What a dramatic derby! The purest form of digging in, getting your head down and defending with gritted teeth. An unbelievable climax with three early exits - I noticed the score was 2-1 on goals and red cards! An exhilarating game of football - and wonderful to have won it in the end.

Nine-man Crystal Palace clung on to a 2-1 lead through 12 minutes of second-half added time at Selhurst Park to secure their first league double over arch rivals Brighton in 92 years.
