Premier League round-up: Liverpool drop below City

Anthony Knockaert thumped in a sensational winner as Brighton beat rivals Crystal Palace in a pulsating game on Saturday afternoon.

Glenn Murray opened the scoring in the first-half against his former team before Luka Milovojevic's scored from the spot to level matters after the break.

But the bragging rights were stolen late as Knockaert cut in from right and curled in an unstoppable left-foot strike into the top corner.

Palace have now lost eight of their 15 home games in the Premier League this season, winning just three. Today was a familiar story: Brighton defended resolutely and Palace had no answer to it. 

Chris Hughton's side are now level on points with Palace - having played a game fewer - and nine points clear of the relegation zone.
