Crystal Palace ended a 12-game winless run in all competitions by beating rival
Brighton 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday.
Ismaila Sarr scored the only goal of the match at the Amex Stadium to move
Palace nine points clear of the relegation zone and leapfrog Brighton into 13th
place.
"It was an unbelievable atmosphere and what a way to start my Palace career, a
win in a derby," said Palace's record signing Jorgen Strand Larsen, who joined
from Wolves on deadline day. "It was really important to win as there has been
a run without wins before I joined.
"This is the most intense game I have ever played so I'm tired now, but it is
worth it."
Sarr's winner came after running through in the 61st minute and firing past
goalkeeper Bart Verburggen. It was his second goal in as many games and his
10th of the season.
Palace's last win in any competition was against Shelbourne in the Conference
League on Dec. 11.
Liverpool hosted second-place Manchester City later Sunday.
