Crystal Palace continued their impressive rise under Oliver Glasner with a dramatic 2-1 win at Fulham, sealed by a late header from Marc Guéhi that sent the visitors into the Premier League’s top four. The defender met a near-post corner in the final minutes to snatch victory, sparking celebrations in the away end.
Palace had taken the lead earlier through Eddie Nketiah, who finished crisply after clever buildup involving Adam Wharton and Tyrick Mitchell. Fulham responded with a stunning equaliser when Harry Wilson exchanged passes with Raúl Jiménez before bending a brilliant outside-of-the-boot shot into the net.
Fulham pushed hard, hit the post through Calvin Bassey, and thought they had gone ahead via Emile Smith Rowe, but the goal was ruled out for offside. Palace absorbed pressure and remained organised, despite missing full-back Daniel Muñoz through injury. With fatigue a concern after a busy schedule, Glasner made changes — but it was Guéhi who delivered at the death.
The win adds to Palace’s growing momentum, now boasting nine wins in 15 across competitions. Fulham, frustrated by missed chances, risk being drawn into the lower end of the table unless their attacking edge improves. Guéhi acknowledged the demanding run ahead, but his late heroics ensured Palace walk away dreaming bigger than ever.
