Crystal Palace claimed a share of the spoils against Brighton as the two sides drew 1-1 at Selhurst Park.

Neal Maupay put the Seagulls in front but Wilfried Zaha’s stunning equaliser ensured each team claimed a point.

Palace are ninth in the Premier League after their latest draw, with Brighton in 13th.

The Eagles were pre-season predictions to go down in the eyes of some people but Roy Hodgson is doing a superb job at the moment.

One mistake he might have made last night was his decision to hand Jairo Riedewald his first start of the season at left-back

The 23-year-old played 44 minutes against Watford last week but he looked way out of his depth against Graham Potter’s team.

Signed from Ajax in 2017, Riedewald earns £55,000-a-week at Selhurst Park (Spotrac).

He was signed by Frank de Boer who viewed him as either a centre-back or a central midfielder. During his first season at the club, he played 15 games.

Last season he didn’t play a single game under Hodgson and after his performance last night he could be waiting a while for his next game.

He was hauled off at half-time against Brighton, prompting supporters to take to Twitter.

Here is a selection of Tweets regarding the performance of Riedewald:
