Ismaila Sarr showcased his prowess on the field as Crystal Palace secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Brighton in the Premier League clash on Sunday. The match, held at the Amex Stadium, saw Sarr shine with two well-taken goals and an assist, contributing significantly to Palace's crucial win.
The win propelled Palace four points clear of the relegation zone, providing a much-needed boost to their campaign. The opening goal came in the 27th minute courtesy of Trevoh Chalobah, setting the tone for Palace's dominance in the game.
Sarr extended Palace's lead in the 33rd minute with a clinical finish, showcasing his attacking prowess. The forward continued to impress, adding a second goal in the 82nd minute, further solidifying Palace's grip on the match.
Despite Brighton's efforts to stage a comeback, Marc Guehi's own-goal was the only consolation for the home side. The result left Brighton without a win in their last four matches, a concerning trend for the team.
The victory would have seen Brighton level on points with fifth-place Manchester City, but the loss now leaves them in ninth place in the league standings. The defeat adds pressure on Fabian Hurzeler's side to bounce back and regain momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
Overall, Crystal Palace's clinical display, led by Ismaila Sarr's standout performance, proved to be the difference in the match. The win not only secures vital points for Palace but also highlights their potential to compete at a high level in the Premier League.
