Marc Guehi’s late header gave Crystal Palace a 2-1 win over Fulham and moved them into the top four of the Premier League.
It looked like Oliver Glasner’s side would be held at Craven Cottage after Harry Wilson canceled 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 through ball in the 20th minute.
Emile Smith Rowe then forced Dean Henderson into a sharp stop before Wilson continued his good goalscoring form with a fine strike from outside the boot after a one-two with Raul Jimenez.
Fulham thought they had a winner after the break. Alex Iwobi’s towering header rattled the goal frame before Smith Rowe converted the rebound, but the goal was canceled out as Samuel Chukwueze had been ruled offside in the build-up.
That left the door open for Guehi to take all three points in the 87th minute, when he released his defender on a corner and headed home.
Palace leapfrogged Chelsea into fourth while Fulham remained 15th, but they are still four points clear of the relegation zone.

Data debriefing: leave it too late
Guehi’s 87th-minute winner was Palace’s last winning goal in an away Premier League match since November 2022, when Michael Olise scored in the 94th minute against West Ham (also a 2–1 win).
But Palace are going strong under Glasner. Since the Austrian took over in March 2024, only Arsenal (65), Liverpool (57) and Manchester City (55) have achieved more Premier League points at field level than Palace (52 – P33 W14 D10 L9).
However, they were not a dominant force in this match as it was the eighth win they recorded in 2025 when they had less than 40% possession (37%), more than any other team.
Fulham, meanwhile, have lost seven of their last 10 top-flight matches (W3), the most in a 10-match run under current boss Marco Silva (also March-May 2023).
