Crystal Palace climbed into the Premier League top four after Marc Guéhi scored a late winner to seal a 2-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage, continuing Oliver Glasner’s strong run against Marco Silva’s side.
Eddie Nketiah marked his first league start of the season with a sharp finish to give Palace the lead, set up by clever play from Adam Wharton and Tyrick Mitchell. Fulham hit back through a stunning outside-of-the-boot strike from Harry Wilson, who combined beautifully with Raúl Jiménez to level the score.
Fulham pushed hard, with Emile Smith Rowe denied early by a crucial Guéhi block and later seeing a goal disallowed for offside in the buildup. Palace defended resolutely throughout, despite playing without key full-back Daniel Muñoz.
The decisive moment came late on when Guéhi met a near-post corner and headed past Bernd Leno, sparking celebrations among the travelling supporters. The result marks Palace’s ninth win in 10 league matches under Glasner and strengthens their Champions League aspirations.
Silva lamented missed chances and lack of cutting edge in the final third, while Glasner praised his squad’s resilience despite a heavy schedule. With form surging and momentum behind them, Palace fans may dare to dream.
