Marc Guéhi scored a dramatic late winner to give Crystal Palace a 2-1 victory over Fulham, sending Oliver Glasner’s side up to fourth in the Premier League. The defender rose at the near post in the closing stages to head home from a corner, stunning a Fulham team who had fought back into the match and dominating spells of play.
Palace took the lead through Eddie Nketiah, who marked his first league start of the season with a confident finish after a clever move orchestrated by Adam Wharton. Fulham struck back with a spectacular effort from Harry Wilson, who curled in using the outside of his boot after a slick one-two with Raúl Jiménez.
The game appeared to be heading for a draw as both teams missed chances — Emiliano Smith Rowe was denied brilliantly by Dean Henderson, and Fulham saw a potential second goal ruled out for offside. But just when the home fans thought they had weathered the storm, Guéhi rose highest to secure all three points for Palace.
The win continues Glasner’s strong record against Marco Silva and reinforces Palace’s impressive form despite injuries and a hectic schedule. Fulham, meanwhile, were left frustrated by missed opportunities and a lack of cutting edge.
For Palace supporters, Guéhi’s late goal felt like another sign that their team might be capable of even more this season.
