Brighton & Hove Albion striker Glenn Murray appeared to take pleasure from Crystal Palace’s late defeat against Manchester United on Monday.

Palace surrendered two-goal lead to lose 3-2 against United, whose winner arrived courtesy of Nemanja Matic in the second minute of stoppage time.

The result ensures Crystal Palace remain in the Premier League’s bottom three – eight places and seven points behind rivals Brighton.

The Seagulls recorded a 2-1 win against Arsenal on Sunday, with Murray – whose goals fired Palace to the Premier League in 2013 – on target.

And his old club’s defeat was doubly sweet for the 34-year-old, who is a Manchester United supporter.

Afterwards, Cumbria native Murray liked two tweets from former United defender Gary Neville, who was analysing the game for Sky Sports, leaving some Crystal Palace fans unamused.

Goals from Andros Townsend and Patrick van Aanholt looked to have hoisted Palace away from danger, but Chris Smalling, Romelu Lukaku and Matic replied to break Selhurst Park hearts.
