"Marc Guehi's thumping late header secured Crystal Palace a 2-1 win over Fulham to move them into the Premier League top four. It looked like Oliver Glasner's side were going to be held at Craven Cottage after Harry Wilson cancelled out Eddie Nketiah's opener, but Palace found a way to win. The Englishman marked his 50th appearance for the club by drilling his low shot into the bottom-right corner after pouncing on Adam Wharton's throughball in the 20th minute."
"Data Debrief: Leaving it late Guehi's 87th-minute winner was Palace's latest winning goal in a Premier League away game since November 2022, when Michael Olise scored in the 94th minute against West Ham (also a 2-1 win). But Palace are strong on the road under Glasner. Since the Austrian took over in March 2024, only Arsenal (65), Liverpool (57) and Manchester City (55) have won more Premier League points away from home than Palace (52 - P33 W14 D10 L9)."
"Fulham thought they had a winner after the break. Alex Iwobi's towering header rattled the goal frame before Smith Rowe turned in the rebound, but the goal was overturned as Samuel Chukwueze had strayed offside in the build-up. That left the door open for Guehi to snatch all three points in the 87th minute, as he peeled off his defender on a corner to head home."
Marc Guehi scored an 87th-minute header to secure a 2-1 victory for Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage. Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring in the 20th minute, marking his 50th appearance for the club with a low, driven finish from Adam Wharton's throughball. Harry Wilson equalised with an outside-of-the-boot strike after a one-two with Raul Jimenez. Fulham briefly thought they had a winner when Alex Iwobi's header led to a Smith Rowe rebound, but the goal was overturned for a Samuel Chukwueze offside. Palace leapfrogged Chelsea into fourth, while Fulham stay 15th and four points clear of relegation. Under Oliver Glasner Palace have compiled 52 away points (P33 W14 D10 L9), and Palace registered their eighth 2025 victory despite having less than 40% possession (37%). Fulham have lost seven of their last 10 top-flight games (W3).
