Danny Welbeck's late equaliser denied Crystal Palace a first Premier League win in seven games as Brighton salvaged a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park on Thursday. Jordan Ayew headed the Eagles into the lead in first half stoppage time as Palace pounced on Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen's poor clearance. However, the home side could not hold out as this fixture ended 1-1 at Selhurst Park for the fifth consecutive season. After a bright start to the season, Brighton have won just twice in their last 12 league games as a lengthy injury list and the club's first ever foray into European football has taken its toll.
