Jordan Ayew headed the Eagles into the lead in first-half stoppage time as Palace pounced on Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen’s poor clearance.
However, the home side could not hold out as this fixture ended 1-1 at Selhurst Park for the fifth consecutive season.
Brighton have also struggled of late after a bright start to the season as a lengthy injury list and the club’s first-ever foray into European football has taken its toll.

But Robert De Zerbi’s changes for the second half summoned a response from the Seagulls.
Welbeck’s introduction was one of two half-time substitutions and the former England international’s precise header into the top corner from Pascal Gross’ cross levelled on 82 minutes.
A point edges Brighton up to eighth in the table, while Palace move nine points clear of the relegation zone in 15th.
