Pierre Sage has been granted more time to fix Crystal Palace’s defensive issues but warned things must improve quickly after Sunday’s humiliating 5-0 defeat at Brighton.
The Frenchman’s future was in serious doubt after his side conceded three times inside the opening 10 minutes before equalling the 70-year-old record for the club’s heaviest loss against their arch-rivals. The thrashing means Palace have conceded the most goals in the Premier League: 17 from seven matches.
