Diego Gómez scored what could prove to be the goal of the season as Brighton ran rampant in a 5-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Seagulls tormented their M23 rivals, going 3-0 up inside 10 minutes thanks to a Jaydee Canvot own goal, Gómez's remarkable strike and Yasin Ayari's deflected effort, before Charalampos Kostoulas and Jack Hinshelwood added insult to injury in the second half.

- Brighton vs. Crystal Palace: Unique Premier League rivalry returns with a new edge
Fabian Hürzeler's side have been one of the success stories of the season so far, with Pascal Gross leading the charge for the Seagulls at the ripe old age of 35.
The German already had eight goal contributions -- three goals and five assists -- in six Premier League appearances coming into this game, with Brighton fans and fantasy football players equally enamoured with his contributions.
Along with the likes of Kostoulas and Maxim De Cuyper, Gross has now propelled Brighton to five wins, one draw and one defeat so far in the league, as well as an impressive 3-2 comeback victory over Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, and two 4-0 victories in the Europa Conference League.
Undoubtedly their biggest win of the season ahead of Sunday came a month ago on Monday, when they swept champions Arsenal aside with a 3-0 win courtesy of goals from Gross, Kostoulas and new signing Chema Andrés.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, had to wait until their third game of the season for a victory, a 3-2 win at Fulham.
Their only other league win came against former manager Oliver Glasner last Sunday, but that was swiftly followed up by a disappointing 3-2 defeat at Sage's former side Lyon on Thursday, before Sunday's new low.
