That is all we have time for on Tribe as Crystal Palace pick up a vital three points against Southampton, who are staring relegation in the face. I have been Elliot Thompson, and thank you for joining me. Stay with us on Tribe for more live Premier League coverage as Liverpool kick-off against West Ham shortly.
It was already a near-impossible task for Ivan Juric to keep Southampton up, but if there was going to be a great escape, it had to start today. It looked like a win was on the cards when Dibling but Southampton ahead. The move was made by Walker-Peters taking on Munoz on the left wing. He pulled it back to Armstrong, who picked out Dibling for a tap-in. They quickly lost momentum in the first half, though, allowing Palace to grow into the game and then dominate. In the second half, that same pattern continued as Southampton struggled to deal with Mateta, Sarr and Eze. After they conceded, there was a real lack of urgency from Southampton, which has been a real issue this season. Fernandes had a big chance after some slick dribbling, but Henderson tipped the shot over. They remain at the bottom of the table and are now 10 points away from safety due to Wolves picking up a point today. Next up for them is a must-win home game against Brentford.
CRYSTAL PALACE PICK UP A HUGE THREE POINTS! Oliver Glasner will be buzzing with that comeback victory, which extends the gap from the bottom three. Crystal Palace are now six points above the drop zone after that win. They fell behind early on but quickly grew into the game. Their equaliser was as simple as you like, with a corner from Hughes finding Chalobah in the six-yard box. He nodded home despite the best efforts of Ramsdale. They dominated for the remainder of the first period and were unlucky not to be ahead. In the second half, it didn't take them long to go ahead, though. A lofted ball from Munoz hit Fernandes and kindly fell to Eze. On the edge of the box, he hit the ball on the half-volley with ferocious power past Ramsdale. Palace managed the game remarkably well after that moment, with Henderson only having to make one save. Next up for Palace is a home game against title-chasing Chelsea, so this one was a must-win today, hence why the fans are buzzing.

Nketiah brings the ball down on the edge of the box. His touch is heavy, he slides in on Harwood-Bellis to try and retain possession but catches him late. So, his only contribution to the game looks like being a yellow card.

Oliver Glasner looks to waste some seconds on the clock with another change. Sarr has made way for Eddie Nketiah who will be lucky to have more than a couple of touches.

SAVE! Palace break with Mateta on the left wing. He carries the ball forward before passing inside to Kamada on the edge of the box. Kamada moves it onto Munoz on the right side of the area. Munoz takes one touch and, with the angle against him, shoots. The effort is comfortable enough for Ramsdale to hold.
