Crystal Palace continued their impressive season with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Fulham, sealed by Marc Guéhi’s late header, pushing Palace into the Premier League’s top four. The win also extended manager Oliver Glasner’s strong record against Marco Silva’s side, having already beaten Fulham twice earlier in the year.
Palace struck first through Eddie Nketiah, finishing cleanly on his first league start of the season after a clever move orchestrated by Adam Wharton. Harry Wilson equalised with a superb outside-of-the-boot strike, his second spectacular goal in as many weeks, but Fulham failed to capitalise on periods of control.
The match looked destined for a draw until the 88th minute, when Guéhi met a near-post corner to spark celebrations among the travelling fans. The centre-back, who may leave when his contract expires this summer, delivered the decisive moment just as Fulham appeared to be running out of ideas.
Silva admitted frustration at his side’s lack of resilience, while Glasner praised Palace’s intensity despite their heavy fixture load. Palace have now won 9 of their last 15 in all competitions, and their rise under Glasner has fans looking upward with optimism.
Fulham, meanwhile, remain inconsistent and risk slipping toward the lower end of the table unless they find more cutting edge in attack.
