Marc Guéhi headed home a decisive late winner to give Crystal Palace a 2-1 victory over Fulham, pushing Oliver Glasner’s side into the Premier League’s top four and deepening Marco Silva’s frustration against a team that has repeatedly halted Fulham’s momentum.
Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring with a sharp finish on his first league start of the season after a clever buildup involving Adam Wharton and Tyrick Mitchell. Fulham equalised through a brilliant outside-of-the-boot strike from Harry Wilson, continuing his run of spectacular goals.
Despite spells of pressure and a disallowed strike from Emile Smith Rowe, Fulham struggled to break down Palace’s organised defence. With the match edging towards a draw, Guéhi rose highest at the near post to nod in a corner and spark jubilant scenes among the away supporters.
The win marks Palace’s ninth victory in 15 games across competitions and comes despite injuries and a packed schedule. Guéhi acknowledged the physical toll but credited his side’s resilience, as Glasner praised the performance while hinting for backing in January.
Fulham, lacking cutting edge despite promising play, leave with regret as Palace continue their impressive push near the top of the table.
