Marc Guehi made the difference this time with a header three minutes before the normal time ended. The Palace captain fired a header from a corner kick to put Palace as the winner.
Crystal Palace had the lead first after Eddie Nketiah scored the first goal in the 20’ minute into the game. Harry Wilson then scored the equaliser only seven minutes before the half-time with a brilliant curled shot. The first half ended with a 1-1 draw for both sides.
The second half started with the same intensity and same goals to win the game from both sides. Some chances were created but none could pass both goalkeepers. Until in the 87’ minute a corner kick was given to Crystal Palace and it was taken beautifully for Marc Guehi to score the header.
Fulham could lead the game in the second half after Emile Smith Rowe scored a tap in, but it was later ruled out for an offside by Samuel Chukwueze in the build up.
This is the second loss for Fulham in this week after a thrilling nine goals drama for their defeat against Manchester City.
