Crystal Palace climbed into the Premier League’s top four after a late Marc Guéhi header sealed a 2-1 victory away at Fulham. The defender struck near the end from a near-post corner, stunning Marco Silva’s side and continuing Oliver Glasner’s impressive run against the Cottagers.
Palace took the lead through Eddie Nketiah, who finished neatly after Adam Wharton and Tyrick Mitchell combined to open up Fulham’s defence. Fulham hit back with a brilliant goal from Harry Wilson, who exchanged passes with Raúl Jiménez before curling a superb outside-of-the-boot shot past Dean Henderson.
Fulham pushed for a winner and thought they had one when Emile Smith Rowe scored from close range, but the effort was ruled out for offside in the buildup. Palace weathered the pressure and took their chance late on, with Guéhi rising ahead of Kenny Tete to head home and send the away fans into celebration.
The win keeps Palace’s strong form under Glasner alive despite squad fatigue and the absence of Daniel Muñoz. Fulham, meanwhile, were left frustrated by missed opportunities and a lack of cutting edge in the final third. Palace now look firmly in the European mix, while Fulham face questions over consistency as the season tightens.
