    Palace need to change something really. Christian Benteke replaces goalscorer Jean-Philippe Mateta.

    Mateta only touched the ball 20 times, including his goal.

    Palace have a few shaky moments at the back but escape. Adam Lallana has time and space but shoots over from 16 yards. A real waste.

    You wouldn't put it past Palace nicking it because they only needed one attempt in the first half... but at the moment it's wave after wave of Brighton attack. Graham Potter is frustrated because he knows they have got to take these chances.

    It's not the best corner but it runs across to Neal Maupay, whose shot is saved by Vicente Guaita at his near post.

    Brighton have a 10th corner of the game. Palace have had none.

    It's 19-1 on shots. Remarkable.

    Gary Cahill is back on to either put off or deflect Adam Lallana's shot over the bar, depending on whether you are the referee or Lallana. Goal-kick.

    Gary Cahill has a bloody nose. He gets a change of shirt and some cotton shoved in his nostrils.

    It's another scramble where Brighton have a load of chances in a row and Palace defenders throw themselves at everything. Can they hold out for another 23 minutes?

    I am looking at Roy Hodgson and he is so chilled it's unbelievable, he is quite happy on the side.

    Brighton have been much better since Danny Welbeck came on. Neal Maupay is stumbling but passes the ball to Welbeck before he falls. Welbeck's shot is blocked by Gary Cahill.

    Oooh. Alexis Mac Allister tries to slip a ball through to Danny Welbeck but it's just too far for the former England international to control. It's all Brighton.

    Cheikhou Kouyate gets up, he's hobbling but looks like he's going to try to play on.

    It is wave after wave of Brighton attack and Crystal Palace are now looking very vulnerable.

    It's good defending from everyone for Palace, bodies on the line, but the fact they are putting bodies on the line shows how much pressure Brighton are putting them under.

    Roy Hodgson may need to have a change because you can't sustain this pressure with 30 minutes to go.

    Palace defender Cheikhou Kouyate is hurt in that goalmouth scramble and is getting treatment.

    Leonardo Trossard, blocked and saved. Danny Welbeck, saved. Alexis Mac Allister, blocked.

    Dan Burn, on the right wing now, crosses and Neal Maupay heads it into the path of Trossard. He has three attempts, all saved or blocked. Welbeck has a crack but Vicente Guaita saves and then Mac Allister is tackled as he shoots.

    Brighton play the corner short but pass it straight to Eberechi Eze, who tries and fails to start a counter.
