Glenn Murray: Brighton fans happy Crystal Palace stayed up

Brighton striker Glenn Murray is delighted Crystal Palace are staying up.

Brighton's promotion to the top-flight, courtesy of a 93-point Championship haul, means the Seagulls will face their bitter south London rivals next season.

"I think it's fantastic Palace stayed up," Murray told Sky Sports.

"It gives the fans the derby they want and I'm sure it will be two great fixtures next year."

Brighton have not played at the highest level of English football for 34 years.
