Crystal Palace beat Cardiff City 3-2 on Saturday to seal relegation for the Bluebirds and keep bitter rivals Brighton & Hove Albion up.

Goals from Wilfried Zaha, Michy Batshuayi and Andros Townsend saw the Eagles through to victory, outweighing the Martin Kelly own goal and a late Bobby Reid consolation.

Brighton’s Premier League status was mathematically confirmed when Crystal Palace beat Cardiff. That result left Cardiff four points shy of the Seagulls with only one game left to play this season.

Crystal Palace and Brighton have been rivals for a while and Chris Hughton’s men have twice come away with wins this season.

Those six points have proven to be crucial in Brighton’s battle against relegation. But Crystal Palace fans had the last laugh.

With their victory keeping Brighton in the league, many Crystal Palace fans have been taunting their rivals and believe they have the bragging rights.

Crystal Palace and Brighton will now meet again in the Premier League next season, keeping the rivalry alive. Here are some tweets from Crystal Palace fans mocking Brighton supporters after Saturday’s win over Cardiff.
