Crystal Palace climbed into the Premier League’s top four after Marc Guéhi scored a decisive late header to seal a 2-1 victory against Fulham. The match looked set for a draw until the 90th minute, when Guéhi met a near-post corner and stunned Craven Cottage, sparking huge celebrations among Palace fans.
Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring with a crisp finish after a clever build-up orchestrated by Adam Wharton. Fulham hit back through a spectacular goal from Harry Wilson, who curled in a brilliant effort after combining neatly with Raúl Jiménez. Despite spells of pressure, Fulham failed to turn possession into clear chances and saw a potential Smith Rowe winner ruled out for offside.
As fatigue threatened to hit Palace during a heavy December schedule, Oliver Glasner’s side instead grew stronger late on. Guéhi — who may leave the club at season’s end — secured all three points and extended Palace’s superb form under their manager. Fulham boss Marco Silva lamented missed opportunities, admitting his team lacked sharpness when it mattered.
For Palace, it’s another statement win, placing them firmly among the league’s early high-flyers — and their fans are beginning to dream.
