Crystal Palace up to fourth after Marc Guéhi's late header stuns Fulham

Crystal Palace have taken a massive step towards securing a top-four finish in the Premier League after Marc Guéhi's late header sealed a dramatic 1-0 win over Fulham. The Eagles' second victory over their London rivals this season, and their fourth overall against Glasner's side, was sparked by an own goal from Fulham defender Calvin Bassey and a dominant performance from Palace, who were without influential Colombia midfielder Daniel Muñoz due to injury.

The Croydon-born midfielder Nathaniel Clyne, who returned from injury for the Eagles, provided width on the flank and played in Tyrick Mitchell on the left wing. Adam Wharton's cross found Mitchell, who eventually slotted past Bernd Leno to give Palace a 1-0 lead. However Fulham responded with Harry Wilson's stunning equaliser, which he scored using the outside of his left boot after a one-two with Raúl Jiménez.

Despite their equalising goal, Fulham struggled to create clear chances in the second half, with Jean-Philippe Mateta wasting an opportunity two minutes after the restart. Palace, meanwhile, were able to weather the storm and mount more pressure on the Fulham goal. The Eagles' 34-year-old England defender was a rare sight in attack for Palace but he did have a chance when he found himself alone on goal but could only produce an air shot.

A late counter-attack saw Alex Iwobi deliver a clever corner that Jean-Philippe Mateta blocked, but Fulham thought they had taken the lead through Sander Berge's drive just before halftime, only for the offside flag to be raised against Emile Smith Rowe's goal.

It was Palace who took advantage of this reprieve, with Guéhi sealing a 1-0 victory for his side when he beat Kenny Tete to a near-post corner and struck into the net. The Eagles' supporters celebrated wildly behind the goal as Guéhi sealed a dramatic win that has propelled Palace into third place in the Premier League table, and just four points behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
 
😱 I'm literally shaking right now! This is insane!! Crystal Palace taking on Fulham and Marc Guéhi scoring the winner in the 90th minute?! That's like something out of a dream! And to think they were down after Harry Wilson scored that stunning equalizer, I was like "oh no they're gonna lose" 🤯 But then the Eagles just took over and dominated the rest of the game. Nathaniel Clyne coming back from injury is giving me all the feels 🙌 And that Jean-Philippe Mateta miss on a clear chance, oh man! 😂 This win has Palace in 3rd place now, only 4 points behind Liverpool?! The possibilities are endless! 🤩
 
omg I'm freaking out 🤯 Palace have finally done it! They've been on fire this season and Marc Guéhi's goal was pure genius 😎 I mean who does that in stoppage time? The Eagles' bench must've been going wild with excitement when he scored that one 💥 And can we talk about Nathaniel Clyne coming back from injury? He's such a beast 🤯 Now Palace is in pole position to snatch that top 4 spot and I couldn't be happier 😊
 
OMG I cant even rn! Crystal palace is killin it rn! Guéhi's header was SICKKKK!!! They got the 3 points they needed and now they're just 4 points away from the top 4 😂🏆 that's crazy considering they lost some key players 🤕 but their squad depth is looking 🔥 Nathaniel Clyne came off the bench and made a difference, his cross led to the goal and he played a decent game overall 💯 and their defense was on point too, Leno couldn't do anything about Guéhi's header 😂 Palace fans are having the best time right now 👏 let's keep this momentum going for them!
 
I'm loving how Crystal Palace is on fire right now! 😍 They've got some serious momentum going on with this win over Fulham. I think Guéhi's header was a game-changer - that guy's always been a threat from set pieces, but to score like that? 💥 I also loved the energy of the crowd behind the goal when he scored... it's amazing how much of a difference home form can make for a team. And Clyne and Mitchell were solid on the flank all game, which was nice to see. 🤞
 
🤯 what a finish by Crystal Palace!!! 😲 they were all but dead on their backs after Harry Wilson's stunning equaliser for Fulham... but Guéhi's late header is pure magic 💫 I mean, who expects to come back from 0-1 down with 10 mins to go?! 🙌 Palace's performance was solid, but you've gotta give credit to Fulham's attack - they were creating chances all over the pitch. And what a comeback by Palace... now they're right in the mix for Europe 🇪🇺💨 this is shaping up to be an epic season in the Prem! 👏
 
aww man 😔 Crystal palace is on fire right now! guéhi's late header was pure drama 😲 and i'm so happy for them 🎉 they've been working so hard all season and this win is a huge boost to their top-four hopes 💪 nathaniel clyne looking good after his return from injury too 👍 can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds for them 🤞
 
omg that Marc Guéhi header was insane!!! 💥 1-0 to Palace is always sweet, especially when it's a late winner 🕰️. I'm loving how Nathaniel Clyne came back from injury and made an impact on the game ⚽️. And Fulham just couldn't catch a break after that Harry Wilson goal... 🤦‍♂️. But you have to give credit to Palace, they deserved that win 😊. They've been flying under the radar all season, but now they're right in the mix for a top-four spot 💪. Can't wait to see what's next for Crystal Palace! 🔴⚽
 
I'm loving Crystal Palace's momentum right now! 🤩 Their 1-0 win over Fulham was a real nail-biter, and I think it says a lot about their team spirit that they were able to pull off the victory despite being down to 10 men for most of the game. That late header from Marc Guéhi was pure magic - the way he managed to get past Tete and slot the ball into the net was just incredible 🙌

And I have to say, Nathaniel Clyne's return from injury couldn't have come at a better time. He brought a whole new level of energy to the team, and his partnership with Tyrick Mitchell on the left wing was causing Fulham all sorts of problems. The fact that they were able to weather the storm in the second half and mount more pressure on the Fulham goal was just fantastic ⚽

Now that Palace are four points behind Liverpool for fourth place, I think it's clear that they're a serious contender for the top four. They've got the talent, the team spirit, and now the momentum - all they need is to keep it up and see where the season takes them 🤞
 
🎉 this is amazing! I'm so hyped for Crystal Palace right now! 🤩 they've been underdogs all season but they're really showing everyone what they're capable of with that dominant performance against Fulham. Marc Guéhi's goal was pure magic, and Nathaniel Clyne's return from injury couldn't have come at a better time! 😊 the whole team played so well together, it's like they've finally clicked into gear. this win has really put them in contention for a top-four finish, which would be incredible for the club! 🌟
 
Blimey 🤯, I'm loving this new season of the Prem so far! Crystal Palace are on fire 🔥, and their performance against Fulham was pure magic ✨. Nathaniel Clyne coming back from injury is like a shot in the arm for the team, and Guéhi's late header was absolute perfection 🙌. I mean, what can you say? It's just one of those days where everything clicks into place and the opposition just can't get past 'em.

I'm not sure how Palace are doing it without Daniel Muñoz though 🤔, but whoever is covering his spot is doing a top job. And let's be real, Fulham were well-beaten 😅. Harry Wilson's goal was stunning, but I think the Eagles just rode their luck at times. Still, that win propels them into third and they're only four points behind fourth-placed Liverpool, so they've got every chance of a top-four finish 🏆!
 
🤔 this whole thing got me thinking... what's the point of victory or defeat anyway? It's like, we celebrate when we win, but are we really celebrating progress or just relief that it didn't go our way? 🏆 and what about those who don't get to experience the thrill of victory, like Daniel Muñoz sitting out with an injury? does his absence make their loss more valid or less meaningful somehow? 💔
 
I'm still not buying on these virtual reality experiences 🤖... I mean, have you seen those new VR headsets? They look like something from a sci-fi movie, but are they really worth it? The tech is just too advanced and prone to glitches for my taste. And don't even get me started on the social media aspect - how many of us really want to immerse ourselves in our online lives 24/7? 😒
 
man this is crazy... Fulham totally dropped it in the 2nd half they had like 10 clear chances and couldn't even score 🤯 meanwhile palace just sits back and waits for counter attacks 🚫 and then that late winner from Guéhi I'm not surprised he's been doing some of the best work for Palace this season 👊 still gotta say though how can Fulham afford to be so inconsistent 🤑
