He said he felt Palace deserved to have taken all three points after Brighton forced a draw with a 95th-minute equaliser.

“That’s football,” he said. “What can we say? We are very disappointed after this performance but we have to carry on.”

The Palace captain featured for 70 minutes, with Patrick Vieira starting him against the Seagulls. He explained his side’s strengths in the clash:

“I think the 90 minutes was a good performance from the team. In the first-half we put high pressure on them, we won a few balls high up the pitch and had our chances. At 1-0 in the second-half we had two clear-cut chances: one from Wilfried [Zaha], the other from Jordan [Ayew]. 

“Last season we scored in the last minute, [on Monday] we conceded. So we need to try to anticipate those kind of situations because that’s what happens in the last minute that I think we as a team can stop. It’s something we need to speak about and try to correct.

“The atmosphere was honestly amazing, especially after the goal that was just a minute before half-time. They [the fans] give us a lot of energy, I think we put a lot of energy on the pitch as well. I think the team performance was decent.”

Finally, with Zaha scoring the penalty which almost won Palace the match, Milivojevic, the usual spot-kick taker, explained his views on who should step up:

“Wilf has taken a few penalties and he scored, so you never want to stop somebody who is at the moment good on penalties. He’s confident. The most important is that he’s bringing those goals to the team. 

“Me as one part of part of the whole squad is very happy that he’s scoring. Happy for him, but unhappy because good performance, with the atmosphere, the fans, everything, overall we deserved three points.”

Luka Milivojevic mixed his disappointment at drawing with Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday night with positives after an encouraging Crystal Palace performance throughout the game.

Two weeks on from [the 2-2 draw at Aston Villa](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/match-reports/u18s-report-dominant-palace-share-spoils-with-villa/2021-09-11/) the young Eagles were back on home soil in a top-of-the-table clash against Southampton.

Under-18s manager Rob Quinn made two changes to the side, bringing in Cameron Lewis-Brown and Ademola Ola-Adebomi from the start in place of Kalani Barton and Kanye Jobson.

Ola-Adebomi nearly made an impact straight after kick-off, stinging the palms of the Southampton goalkeeper Eddie Beach with an effort in the third minute.

Palace were well on top in the opening exchanges, with Victor Akinwale’s effort from close range palmed behind and Maliq Cadogan’s header from the resulting corner bouncing just over the bar.

The young Eagles looked comfortable on the ball and linked up well across the pitch. Just before the half-hour mark, Fionn Mooney cut the ball across for Akinwale in the middle of the box, but the Palace No. 9 skewed his shot just past the post.

Thirty-five minutes in, Palace got their noses in front. Great work in the build-up from Akinwale and Ola-Adebomi saw the latter setup Jadon Raymond inside the box. The Palace No. 10 danced past two challenges and made no mistake to fire home from inside the six-yard box.

The Saints looked for a way back into the game and did pressure the Palace defence before half-time, however the young Eagles stood firm to keep their lead through to half-time.

Palace looked to double their lead straight after the restart as a number of chances fell to Raymond, Akinwale and Mooney, though they couldn’t break through the Southampton defence.

Southampton looked to hit Palace on the counter five minutes into the second-half, but were denied by Owen Goodman. The Palace ‘keeper did well to deny Luke Pearce with a last-ditch sliding challenge and then follow up with a save moments later.


Akinwale came close to adding a second for Palace on the hour mark, after being picked out by a surging Tayo Adaramola, but the striker headed just over the bar.

The final half an hour of the game was broken up by a number of lengthy stoppages due to injuries across both teams.

With just over 10 minutes remaining, the visitors had their best chance at drawing level through first-half substitute Riley Wright. The striker’s effort went narrowly wide of the post after a Southampton breakaway.

Adaramola went on another trademark run down the left hand side, with five minutes remaining, and picked out Akinwale once more - though his effort was held by Beach in the Southampton goal.

Rob Quinn’s young Eagles safely navigated the six minutes of time added on to maintain their unbeaten run, secure their fourth win of the season, and move top of the U18 Premier League South.

**Palace**: Goodman, Lewis-Brown, Adaramola, Rodney, Cadogan, Sheridan, Ozoh, Akinwale, Raymond, Mooney (Dixon 88), Ola-Adebomi (Ling 65).

Six days on from [a tough test against the reigning Premier League 2 Division 1 champions Manchester City](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/match-reports/u23s-report-eagles-undone-by-reigning-pl2-champions/2021-09-18/), Palace were on the road again to face West Ham United.

The two sides were evenly matched in the opening exchanges, with chances few and far between in the opening 20 minutes.

The hosts had the first notable chance of the match in the 21st minute through Amadou Diallo. The West Ham winger saw his shot on goal charged down by Palace’s Jay Rich-Baghuelou.

Rich-Baghuelou found himself in the West Ham box 10 minutes later as Rob Street headed a Reece Hannam cross into his path. The Australian centre-back drilled a shot at goal, but it was narrowly wide of the post. 

Moments later, Joe Whitworth was called into action as he got down low to his right to save a driven effort from Armstrong Okoflex. 

A quick and incisive move saw Hannam free on the edge of the box seconds after Whitworth’s first save of the evening. The left-back fired a shot at goal that was deflected by the recovering West Ham defender and looped into the palms of the ‘keeper.

It looked likely that the two sides were going into the break level, but the Hammers got themselves in front through their skipper Ajibola Alese. The centre-back tapped in from close range after a corner in the dying embers of the first-half.

The Eagles came racing out the blocks in the second-half as they looked to draw level. Street came agonisingly close just a minute after the restart as his shot from close range hit the side netting. 

Street came close once more 10 minutes later, latching onto a long ball and using his strength to muscle off the challenging West Ham centre-backs - though they recovered just in time to block his shot.

The hour-mark saw Jesurun Rak-Sakyi come close to levelling, though the Palace winger couldn’t squeeze his shot from a narrow angle past Krisztian Hegyi in the West Ham goal.

Rak-Sakyi did well once more to link-up with Malachi Boateng in a flowing passing move down the right hand side - the latter playing in Nya Kirby, though the Palace No.10 saw his shot blocked.

The hosts had their fair share of chances as the Eagles passed and probed searching for a way back into the game, the best of which fell to Sonny Perkins 10 minutes from time. The West Ham No. 9 struck a shot from distance, but Whitworth dealt with it well.

Palace poured more bodies forward as the game wore on, but they couldn’t find a route back into the game as the Hammers emerged with all three points.

**West Ham United:** Hegyi, Ashby, Longelo, Ekwah, Baptiste, Alese, Diallo, Forson, Perkins, Swyer, Okoflex.

Subs not used: Forbes, Kinnear, Rosa, Woods, Greenidge.

Crystal Palace Under-23s narrowly lost out to a resilient West Ham United side on a cold Friday evening at Rush Green.

U23s Report: Eagles edged out in cagey clash against the Hammers

Jack Wells-Morrison v Everton U23s 2021.jpg

West Ham United PL2 v Crystal Palace PL2 (2021-09-24)

He was questioned on a manner of issues beyond the match, including Anthony Joshua and the Ryder Cup.

Here’s a summary of what Vieira had to say.

### On improvements for Palace ###

There are a lot of areas in our game we need to improve. The positive side of the team is since the first game we played against Chelsea, we are stronger. We look more solid, there’s a better understanding about how we want to play the game. This for me is really important.

We have players coming back from injuries and new players in our football club. If we keep working and improving the way we did in the last couple of weeks we will be competing in the Premier League really well.

I’m really pleased to be in the Premier League and to manage a club like Crystal Palace. The team is improving, we are getting better, and there is a better understanding of the way we want to play. 

I think there is more to come from the team. The way we’re working is really good. Players are coming back from injury and that will bring competitiveness on the field. 

### On Odsonne Edouard ###

I’m pleased, I’m happy with him. He came on, scored those two goals [v Tottenham Hotspur], came on against Liverpool and created a couple of situations. He needs to adapt himself to the Premier League, to the football club. He’s working well and gives me one more option up front.

He’s been fit, he’s ready to start the game. When you’re moving to a different country and the Premier League, you need time to adapt yourself. We will take our time to feel comfortable in the club, in the way we want to play. He’s physically and mentally ready to start.

### On Jeffrey Schlupp ###

Jeff is feeling really good. He started training with the squad since the end of last week. He’s doing really well and will be part of the squad on Monday.

### On proposed changes: safe standing and at-seat drinks ###

I think the priority [for safe standing] of course will be safety. I think if that safety has been confirmed, [safe standing] will be good for our game. But until then it will be difficult to have those kind of standing stands if the safety is not at the level that will give security for people at the stadium.

We are really pleased to have already an incredible atmosphere. Having the standing will be even greater. But again the priority will be safety.

The culture, the history of the two countries [the USA and England] are different. Again we have to manage to people coming to the stadium, having this safety. We have to know they can go to the game and go home with no issues. That’s the priority. 

We should find out what is the best way for people to come to the stadium and have a good time. That can be coming to the stadium and having a pint of beer. If that can be done, why not? But it needs to be in the structure of going to the game, having a good time and getting home safely.

### On Joshua v Usyk and the Ryder Cup ###

I’m really sorry to disappoint but I’m not a boxing fan. And I’m really sorry again, you are not going to get me in front of the TV watching golf!

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira addressed a range of topics when speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Monday's Brighton game.

Vieira addresses: Safe standing, improvements, Edouard, Schlupp and stadium culture

Vieira Brighton press conference Sep 21.jpeg

**Summary**

* Patrick Vieira makes two changes: starting Odsonne Edouard and Luka Milivojevic

* Palace begin brightly, attacking with intent while keeping their cool despite a lively atmosphere

* Brighton enjoy a short spell on the front foot, with Danny Welbeck forcing Vicente Guaita into action one-on-one

* The home side react well and, after having a succession of chances dealt with, go ahead through an unstoppable Wilfried Zaha penalty seconds before half-time

* **Half-time: Crystal Palace 0-1 Brighton & Hove Albion**

* Brighton begin the second-half well but are soon under pressure from Palace again; Lewis Dunk forces a Guaita save but both ‘keepers are otherwise unchallenged

* The game becomes much more even around the hour-mark as chances become less frequent 

* Christian Benteke plays a perfect ball to Jordan Ayew, who shoots narrowly wide

* Brighton grab a 95th-minute goal to steal a point from SE25

* **Full-time: Crystal Palace 1-1 Brighton & Hove Albion

The evening began as expected, with a vociferous Selhurst atmosphere pounding through supporters and the stadium alike. 

It was the first time Palace had clashed with their south cost counterparts in front of a crowd since February 2020, and this played its part in drumming up a febrile buzz under the lights.

It also reflected in the game, with Vieira’s repeated pre-match instruction – one of blending the natural passion of a meeting like this with intelligent, focused decisions – clearly applied. 

Palace drove at their guests and were firm in the tackle, lifted no doubt by the occasion and its soundtrack. This saw Jordan Ayew and Conor Gallagher create chances from opposite sides of the box, with the latter forcing a diving clearance from Lewis Dunk after a fizzing shot goal-bound.

But Palace also played smartly, looking to move the ball on the ground as they enjoyed swathes of possession. It was, in Vieira’s words, “[using] this kind of energy, [but] not forgetting that we need to play football.”

Brighton were kept relatively quiet until the 28th-minute, when Danny Welbeck worked his way along the left-wing and managed to force a ball across the box. It eventually found Pascal Groß, who pushed his way into the Palace box and laid it off for Leandro Trossard to strike at the side netting.

It wasn’t the sort of moment that represented a shift in the balance of play, but it signalled the start of a fleetingly threatening spell for Brighton, with Neal Maupay holding the ball up on the edge of the box and Welbeck later forcing Vicente Guaita into one-on-one action to block a snatched shot. 

However Palace didn’t take long to re-establish themselves and were back in Brighton’s half within minutes, Wilfried Zaha having a cross and then shot dealt with from the left-wing.

In the first 35 minutes, the struggle for the south Londoners wasn’t their desire or ability to forge chances, but their luck in prising open a packed visiting box, with Graham Potter’s defensively adept charges flooding the space and leaving ‘keeper Robert Sánchez with only routine work to do.

When Sánchez wasn’t required, the ball either flashed through the gaps and evaded both defence and attack, or it was intercepted by one of several Brighton legs, who ensured a succession of promising openings didn’t launch Selhurst into raptures.

It didn’t last forever.

When Gallagher collected the ball on the right-wing and cut inwards, he had the Brighton backline beaten, leaving Marc Cucurella to push and Trossard to trip him in the box. The referee signalled for a penalty and, on his 400th appearance, only one man could step up next.

With the crowd chanting his name as he stood at the centre of another chapter in Palace and Brighton’s history, Wilfried Zaha was the coollest man in SE25.

And rightly so. The Ivorian powered an unstoppable effort deep into the left-hand corner as Sánchez dived the wrong way. It was a lead that would last a further 50 minutes.

No doubt rocked by conceding so close to half-time, Brighton emerged for the second-half with renewed intent; Guaita tipping a Dunk header behind and Gallagher charging down an Adam Lallana volley.

The visitors certainly seemed more energised as the second-half’s first exchanges took place, but Palace responded but putting them under pressure when in their own third and ensuring they kept the back four occupied when in possession.

Before long the game’s earlier balance was restored and Palace found themselves so high, so regularly, that Joachim Andersen briefly played a central attacking role; not with his usual probing long balls but with close passing inside Brighton’s half.

As it swung between Palace dominance and a well-matched affair, the game was unquestionably closer than it had been in the first-half, and the near-parity naturally built tension as the game wound on.

Ayew had a chance to ease the nerves tightening across Selhurst Park but struck narrowly wide of goal after Christian Benteke’s smart lay-off.

With just 10 minutes on the clock, Palace appeared to intensify their efforts: Trossard collecting a yellow card for felling Zaha on the left-wing.

Both sides made a concerted late push to ensure the spoils from this historic grudge match went their way, and as they appeared all but secured for Palace, the visitors make a cruel late break-through. 

Sensing the chance to grab a dying-seconds draw, Maupay lobbed Guaita and found the net with no time left on the clock.

**Palace:** Guaita, Ward, Guéhi, Andersen, Mitchell, Milivojevic (Kouyate 71), McArthur, Gallagher, Ayew (Schlupp 86), Zaha, Edouard (Benteke 71). 

Subs not used: Butland, Clyne, Kelly, Hughes, Olise, Mateta. 

**Brighton:** Sánchez, Cucurella, Duffy, Burn (Alzate 45 (Moder 65)), Veltman Dunk, Maupay, Trossard, Groß, Lallana, Welbeck (Connolly 76).

Subs not used: Steele, Lamptey, Mac Allister, March, Roberts, Richards.

Crystal Palace put in a solid performance from front to back against rivals Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday night, however a Wilfried Zaha penalty on his 400th appearance was undone by a 95th-minute equaliser from the visitors.

Report: Point apiece as Brighton nab late Selhurst goal

The manager drew upon a change in Brighton’s style that saw them playing long balls rather than steady, passing build-up play to highlight how his side managed the match.

“This [Brighton] is a really good side playing with a lot of confidence and have been working together for the last three or four years. We gave them a really good game. At the end of course we are really disappointed because we should take the three points.

“We gave them so many problems… when you’re looking at the way they played in the last 15 minutes with the long balls it doesn’t look like them. So they’re not used to that kind of game. We definitely did well. Obviously not scoring the second goal left the door open and gave them hope.”

Asked to expand on this and explain how Palace managed to nullify Brighton for 95 minutes, Vieira said: “It was the team effort, the way we prepared the game, the effort from the players on the field. 

“When you’re looking at the front three, the work without the ball, Wilfried [Zaha] and Jordan [Ayew] coming inside to stop the midfielders getting on the ball, it was a really good team effort. This is one of the reasons why they didn’t create many chances. 

“The last kick is in our hands and we made that mistake. The organisation we had in midfield didn’t allow us to win that second ball. It’s a process of us learning that, until the last whistle, anything can happen – especially when you’re 1-0 up.

“We are improving, we are getting stronger. Our collective game, the way we played with and without the ball, is really united. I think the players are really aware about what they have to do on the field.”

Patrick Vieira didn’t hold back in expressing his disappointment with Crystal Palace’s draw with Brighton & Hove Albion, however made sure to discuss the positives from a solid Palace performance.

Vieira explains change in Brighton tactic to highlight Palace performance

The game will kick-off at 19:45 on Tuesday, 26th October, at the Cherry Red Records stadium.

It was initially set for October 5th, but has been moved due to international commitments.

Palace's last Papa John's Trophy game saw an Under-21s side fall to Sutton United in August, and they will also face Portsmouth in November.

Ticket and any broadcast information for both the Wimbledon and Portsmouth games will be shared in due course across cpfc.co.uk, the official Palace app and on our social media channels.

“It hurts so much,” he said, reflecting on Brighton’s 95th-minute equaliser. “Throughout the whole game we played so well, defended brilliantly, worked so hard, every single one of us. It feels like a loss, to be honest. We had the three points there and then a lack of concentration loses us two points. Everyone’s gutted.

“We played brilliantly. Brighton are a good side, they showed that this season. I think the way we performed against them was great and we showed what we can do. If it wasn’t for a lack of concentration at the end we’d be coming away with three points and everyone would be going home buzzing.”

Continuing to look at Palace’s strengths, Gallagher discussed the Eagles’ approach to the clash and other games at Selhurst Park:

“Any team that comes here we don’t want them to dictate. I felt we did that well. We won the ball high up the pitch, we caused them problems. But yeah, at the end of the day we didn’t win the game.”

Conor Gallagher cut a frustrated figure after Crystal Palace's draw with Brighton, but like his manager Patrick Vieira, explained there were plenty of positives for his team to reflect on.

For Sudeikis and fellow producer Bill Lawrence, fans seeing this meant the fruition of a perfectly executed plan.
“Jason invented Ted Lasso for a series of short promotional films,” Lawrence, creator of Scrubs, Cougar Town and Spin City, explains. He’s referring to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KeG_i8CWE8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the viral NBC sketches</a> which promoted the network’s Premier League coverage in 2013 and 14.
“I was thinking about making a streaming TV show and was doing anything I could to sit down with Jason because he’s such a talented guy.
“He said: ‘I’ve got to be honest with you, every time I go the UK or Europe, I’m more recognised as Ted Lasso than I am for any of my movies. So how about turning that into a show?’
“But that guy was definitely more of a sketch-type character - bombastic, loud, fish out of water American who was clueless about the game… At first I was hesitant because I didn’t know how that very broad, comedic, sketchy character could be a TV show.
“But we talked about making him more hopeful and more optimistic in what is a very cynical time - making him the best version of an American abroad, somebody that’s ignorant without being an arrogant jerk. It started to feel like a show to us.”
After time, Lawrence and Sudeikis cemented the idea for Ted Lasso as the central figure in his own series. Carrying the narrative from Lasso the NBC sketch character, Lawrence and Sudeikis wrote a show whereby a seemingly hopeless American coach is drafted in to lead fictional English club, AFC Richmond.
They sold the idea to Apple, and began searching for a football club to become their show’s backdrop.
Lawrence continues: “One of the main stipulations was we had to shoot it in London so it was authentic and we had to find a Premier League team that would let us use their facilities and what we would base our team on: a local, community team as opposed to any of the big juggernauts.

“What’s a team stadium that still feels like it’s part of the community and localised? Not only did Crystal Palace fit the bill, but Bill Wrubel, who’s one of the executive producers and writers on the show… his uncle is one of the ownership partners of Crystal Palace, so we had a connection to go in and talk to their management group.
“We told those folk what we were looking to do and said: ‘Look, our team will be an imaginary team and if we shoot in your stadium Crystal Palace will kick our butts in the first game.’”
Sure enough, when episode two of Ted Lasso launched in August 2020, a fictional Crystal Palace side trump their Selhurst hosts 4-1 in front of a sea of red and blue. As the show ends, Glad All Over rings out over rolling credits and fans are left to work out which shots they’ve watched straight from SE25, and which are generated by a computer in the States.

The whole show feels inherently related to Palace, with its colour scheme, setting and closing track being familiar tropes for any Eagle.

“We kept the colours and stuff because... one of the things Apple wanted us to do was: ‘Hey, you’re making a show that has football as a backdrop and we’re an international platform for Premier League fans and UK football fans.’ So for us, I would hope that people recognise Selhurst when they see the shots.
“You can tell on social media and the internet who’s from Europe and who’s a big fan because they immediately recognise the stadium and they recognise the colours. They go: ‘This is a smaller, underdog squad going up against these giant teams.’… that’s the world we wanted to live in.
“Jason and I wanted to make something that was akin to a very iconic sports movie. We grew up with all the iconic sports movies we all love, whether it was Field of Dreams or Rocky or Hoosiers - there’s always this kind of hallowed-ground feel to where the big game is. We wanted a place with personality that we knew actually meant something.
“For me - I’ve got to shoot a couple of times in big stadiums, where I’ve seen iconic teams play – this [Selhurst] is definitely one of the top three. It was such a key part of the show… I’m nostalgic for Selhurst now.”
Ted Lasso’s immediate success saw the show earn a second series which, as fans can now see, again takes place in SE25.

“We’re really tickled by not only the people that recognise immediately the stadium and team and who we’re basing it on, but that they take a tremendous amount of pride in it. It’s cool for us to see coming from here, because the only thing akin to that in the States is college football.
“If you live in Alabama, you’re University of Alabama or a college in Texas if you live in Texas. You live, breathe and die for your team, your colours, your jerseys. Sometimes people’s houses are painted that way, they dress that way.
“To see that kind of specific regional pride in a team in the UK and in football was really eye opening and cool, and we saw it a lot with not only the stadium, but Crystal Palace as a team.”
Be it an iconic American producer or hapless American coach, Palace’s place as the pride of south London is clear – even across the pond.
You can watch Ted Lasso season one and two on Apple TV. Apple TV+ is available on the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, iPod touch, Mac, select Samsung and LG smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV and Roku devices, as well as at <a href="https://tv.apple.com/">tv.apple.com</a>.

For anyone who passed – or even entered - Selhurst Park in November 2019, they may have found a slightly different stadium to the usual buzz of matchday preparations, lawnmowers and the chatter of meetings across the ground.
