Crystal Palace climbed into the top four after a dramatic 2-1 victory over Fulham, sealed by a late Marc Guéhi header in the closing minutes at Craven Cottage. The defender met a near-post corner to stun the home crowd and continue Oliver Glasner’s strong record against Marco Silva’s side.
Palace took the lead through Eddie Nketiah, who marked his first Premier League start of the season with a sharp finish after fine build-up play from Adam Wharton and Tyrick Mitchell. Fulham responded with a moment of brilliance as Harry Wilson curled in a superb equaliser following a clever one-two with Raúl Jiménez. Dean Henderson later denied Emile Smith Rowe with a spectacular save before Fulham saw a potential go-ahead goal ruled out for offside.
Despite Fulham’s early pressure, Palace grew into the match and managed the game well. With key defender Daniel Muñoz absent, Nathaniel Clyne stepped in as the visitors held firm defensively. Guéhi capped the performance with his late winner, sparking celebrations with the travelling support and giving Palace their third win over Fulham this year.
Silva lamented missed chances, saying matches like this “can’t be lost,” while Glasner praised his squad’s resilience amid a demanding schedule. Guéhi admitted fatigue is a challenge, but insisted Palace “have to recover and go again” as they continue an impressive campaign under Glasner.
