Brighton have accused a number of Crystal Palace fans of causing disorder which left two stewards in hospital after Tuesday night’s match between the two clubs at the Amex Stadium.

Brighton said that a number of Palace fans had travelled south without tickets and sought to gain entry to the ground shortly after kick-off in the so-called ’M23 derby’, prompting the club to close the turnstiles at 7.51pm - six minutes into the match which would finish goalless.
