Crystal Palace saw their top striker Glenn Murray stretchered off after he twisted his knee badly attempting to turn on the ball.

Crystal Palace took to the field tonight hoping to get a win at home over play-off rivals Brighton and Hove Albion, but both sides were fairly even, as the game finished 0-0.
One incident of note, however, was this horrible injury to Crystal Palace’s top striker Glenn Murray, whose 32 goals this season have been a huge part of why Palace are in the chase for the top flight.
As he tries to turn on the ball, his studs appear to stick in the turf, and he seems to twist his knee, which completely collapses underneath him.
Hopefully, the injury is not as bad as first feared, but it’s certainly advantage to Birghton as they have the next leg at home, and Palace will more than likely be without their top scorer.
