Trevoh Chalobah and Eberechi Eze helped Crystal Palace beat Southampton after returning from a goal down. This win puts Palace six points clear of the relegation zone.

Southampton scored first in the 14th minute. Kyle Walker-Peters crossed the ball, and Adam Armstrong assisted Tyler Dibling, who tapped it in from close range.

Crystal Palace equalized 16 minutes later. Trevoh Chalobah headed in a corner taken by Will Hughes for his third Palace goal.

Southampton players thought Jean-Philippe Mateta had fouled goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale during the play, but the goal was approved by VAR.

Eze then scored a great goal early in the second half, securing the win for Palace.

Munoz missed a big chance in the first half when he failed to score from inside the six-yard box after getting a cross from Tyrick Mitchell. Ismaila Sarr also had a good chance, but his shot was saved by Ramsdale. Jefferson Lerma’s acrobatic volley from the corner was also saved.

After tying the game, Palace played better. Their dominance paid off when Munoz’s cross was deflected to Eze, who scored by shooting into the bottom corner.

This win moved Crystal Palace to 15th place, six points ahead of Leicester City in 18th. They have lost only one of their last eight Premier League matches.
