Outstanding performance
Crystal Palace•MidfielderFulham dominated the ball and the territory, racking up 65% possession, 25 shots and 83 dangerous attacks, yet found themselves undone by a Crystal Palace side that made every big chance count. Josh King's early strike and César Palacios' close-range finish twice gave the hosts the lead, but Tyrick Mitchell answered both times with well-taken goals from tight angles, and it was substitute Ben Chilwell who settled it with 13 minutes left, converting from the center of the box after coming on just three minutes earlier. Palace created six big chances from just 22 dangerous attacks, a ruthless efficiency that contrasted sharply with Fulham's wastefulness in front of goal despite their overwhelming control. For Fulham, this will sting given the dominance shown across the pitch, while Palace's resilience and clinical edge marks a statement result on the road.
