Crystal Palace climbed into the Premier League’s top four after Marc Guéhi headed home a late winner to stun Fulham, sealing a 2-1 victory at Craven Cottage. The match looked set to end level after Harry Wilson’s brilliant strike cancelled out Eddie Nketiah’s opener, but Guéhi rose at the near post in the closing minutes to snatch all three points for Oliver Glasner’s side.
Nketiah put Palace ahead with a sharp finish after a move orchestrated by Adam Wharton, but Fulham hit back with a superb goal as Wilson played a slick one-two with Raúl Jiménez before bending in a stunning outside-of-the-boot effort. Fulham pushed for more, hitting the post through Calvin Bassey and having an Emile Smith Rowe goal ruled out for offside, yet lacked cutting edge in the final third.
Palace withstood the pressure and punished them late on when Guéhi met a corner to score, prompting wild celebrations among the travelling supporters. The centre-back, whose contract expires at season’s end, acknowledged the demanding schedule but praised the team’s resilience.
The win marks Palace’s ninth victory in 15 matches across competitions under Glasner, continuing his impressive run despite squad fatigue and the absence of Daniel Muñoz. Fulham manager Marco Silva lamented missed chances and warned his side must be more ruthless to avoid slipping toward a relegation fight.
For Palace, the dream grows — top four in December, momentum building, and belief rising under Glasner’s guidance.
