Crystal Palace continued their impressive season with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Fulham, sealed by a late Marc Guéhi header that sent the visitors into the Premier League’s top four. It was the third time this year Palace have beaten Fulham under Oliver Glasner, leaving Marco Silva frustrated once again.
Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring on his first league start of the campaign after a clever move led by Adam Wharton, before Fulham responded through a stunning Harry Wilson strike, curled with the outside of his boot after a slick one-two. Fulham pushed for more and twice came close, with Dean Henderson denying Emile Smith Rowe brilliantly and a later Smith Rowe finish ruled out for offside in the buildup.
Despite mounting pressure, Palace stayed organised and pounced late. From a near-post corner, Guéhi rose above Kenny Tete to head home, sparking jubilant celebrations from the travelling fans. The England defender, expected to leave at the end of the season, delivered a crucial moment that keeps Palace’s strong campaign rolling.
Silva lamented missed chances and a lack of incisiveness, warning his team must be more resilient. Glasner, despite squad fatigue and the absence of Daniel Muñoz, praised his side’s mentality as they prepare for a busy run of fixtures.
Palace now sit fourth — an achievement that has fans dreaming, and one that may push the club to back Glasner further in the upcoming window.
