The hosts edged the early stages, but that is by no means meant as praise to the performance of Fabian Hurzeler&#8217;s men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after the half-time break, however, Oliver Glasner introduced Guessand &#8212; signed on loan from Aston Villa in January &#8212; and that proved to be the turning point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guessand injected a much-needed element of urgency into the match, willing to drive the ball forward without a second thought and, most importantly, being most alert to loose balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Evann Guessand stats vs Brighton:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Minutes: <\/strong>34<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Touches: <\/strong>14<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chances created: <\/strong>1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assists: <\/strong>1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accurate passes: <\/strong>5\/6 (83%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tackles: <\/strong>2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recoveries: <\/strong>1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Duels won: <\/strong>4\/8 (50%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the latter quality that was vital to Palace opening the scoring, with debutant Guessand pouncing on a ball in midfield and powering forward before feeding Sarr, who just about managed to beat Verbruggen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarr was a fitting goalscorer for Palace after the Senegal international posed about as big a threat as any visiting player during the opening 45 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Guessand, it was the perfect introduction to the Palace supporters. For Sarr, meanwhile, it was a continuation of his excellent record against Brighton, with this his third goal at the Amex Stadium, more than any other away ground across his career so far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">3 &#8211; Crystal Palace&#39;s Isma\u00efla Sarr has now scored three goals away at Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League, scoring more goals at the American Express Stadium than any other away venue in the competition.
