Lucky, very very lucky. Harsh on Brighton who played well but just didn't take their chances. Can't imagine Roy Hodgson staying at Palace beyond this season though as you say they are awful to watch.
Which goes to show stats don't count for nothing if you don't take your chances or in this case just a few of them
Because they scored the most goals and that's the only stat that matters. Palace deserved the win because they did better at the two most important things which are score more and let in less. The stats were very one sided for goal attempts, corners and possession mind. https://www.flashscore.co.uk/match/zsisZ3HH/#match-statistics;0
