Crystal Palace held high-flying Brighton & Hove Albion to a 1-1 draw in the Premier League on Saturday after James Tomkins capitalised on a calamitous error to cancel out Solly March’s opener.

The result leaves Brighton on 35 points in sixth place, while Palace are 12th with Patrick Vieira’s side yet to taste a league victory in 2023.

Brighton, who have not lost this year, were able to break through Palace’s defence numerous times in the first half, with Kaoru Mitoma seeing his angled shot denied by goalkeeper Vicente Guaita while Adam Webster also had a header go wide.

Pervis Estupinan had the ball in the net shortly after the half-hour mark but just as the Ecuadorian full back celebrated what he thought was his first goal for Brighton, VAR came to Palace’s rescue and chalked it off for offside.

The breakthrough finally came in the 63rd minute when March stole past the last defender to skilfully turn in Estupinan’s cross at the far post despite it being at an awkward height.

But Palace levelled when Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez made a mess of a straightforward catch from a set-piece, with the ball bouncing up kindly for Tomkins who headed it into an empty net.

Tomkins scored his first goal of the season to salvage a point against Brighton. The away side dominated before the break with Guaita making three sharp saves before Estupinan found the top corner. However, his goal was disallowed with the left-back venturing offside. After the restart, March threatened with two efforts at goal before scoring with his third. Getting past Mitchell, he crashed in Estupinan’s dangerous cross. In control, Brighton were forced to share the points after a mishap from Sanchez. Going to catch Olise’e free-kick, the ball dropped out of his hands with Tomkins reacting the quickest to poke it into an empty net.

Edouard is unhappy. Rushing away on the counter, he looks to play a one-two with Eze, but his team-mate looks to beat a defender rather than play the ball back to him. If Eze played the pass, Edouard would have been one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

Despite going behind, Palace will still have hope. No side has won more Premier League games when conceding the first goal this season than Crystal Palace (four). Indeed, the Eagles have won twice the amount of games when conceding first (4/12) than they have when scoring first this term (2/6).

All of their chances so far have come after patient play outside the Palace box. They had a fast start after the break, but have slowed down in the last 10 minutes.

Palace have looked good in spells, but are clearly missing Zaha. The winger has scored more goals against Brighton than anyone else (eight) with the home side missing his dynamism. Ayew has been quiet with most of their attacks coming down the right through Olise. It has made them predictable, making them easier to defend against. As for Brighton, they are unlucky not to have scored at least once before the break. Starting his first game after the transfer window, Caicedo has partnered with Gross well but needs to be more careful in possession inside Brighton's defensive third.

The game is goalless at half-time with Brighton in the ascendancy. Denied three times by Guaita, who pushed away two efforts from Mac Allister and one from Mitoma, the away side thought they had broken the deadlock through Estupinan. Receiving the ball from Gross inside the box, the left-back tucked his curling strike into the top corner. However, celebrations were short-lived with VAR disallowing the goal for offside. Playing on the counter, Palace had two opportunities through Mateta, but his goal-bound attempts were blocked by Webster.

Guaita has no interest in playing short passes. Every time he has got the ball, he has gone long looking for the tall option of Mateta.

Doucoure has another chance for Palace after receiving a short pass from Olise, but he curls the ball wide from outside the box. With men in the middle, it was not a shot or a cross, with the midfielder wasting the opportunity.
