Crystal Palace snatched a dramatic 2-1 win over Fulham thanks to a late Marc Guéhi header, lifting Oliver Glasner’s side into the Premier League’s top four. Fulham had dominated large spells, but Palace proved resilient and ruthless when it mattered.
Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring with a sharp finish from Adam Wharton’s clever buildup, marking his first league start of the season with a goal. Fulham hit back through Harry Wilson, who produced another spectacular finish with the outside of his left boot after a slick one-two on the edge of the area.
The hosts pushed for a winner, but Palace defended superbly and kept their shape. When a late corner arrived, Guéhi surged ahead of Kenny Tete at the near post and powered in the decisive header, triggering wild celebrations from the travelling fans. It was a fitting moment for the England defender, who is expected to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.
Fulham manager Marco Silva lamented his side’s missed opportunities, while Glasner praised his team’s mentality after what was already their 24th match of a congested campaign. With Palace flying and now firmly in the hunt for European places, supporters are daring to dream of what could be possible if January reinforcements arrive.
