Fabian Hürzeler must be wondering when he will have another chance to get one over Oliver Glasner. The Brighton head coach’s record against his Crystal Palace counterpart, and someone he counts as a mentor, now reads three defeats and a draw after Ismaila Sarr ended Palace’s 12-match winless run in the league in satisfying style against their archrivals.
While Glasner can breathe slightly more easily after his new big-money signings Evann Guessand and Jørgen Strand Larsen made an impact on their debuts, Hürzeler left the field to widespread boos from his own fans and chants of: “You’re getting sacked in the morning”.
