Crystal Palace Beats Fulham 2-1 on Guehi's Late Header

Raúl Jiménez assisted Fulham's goal yet drew scrutiny for an unpunished high boot.

Overview

  • Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring for Palace in the 20th minute before Harry Wilson equalized from a Raúl Jiménez layoff late in the first half.
  • Marc Guehi sealed the win in the 87th minute with a near-post header from a Yeremy Pino corner.
  • Jiménez completed 90 minutes, recording one shot and modest passing figures despite his assist.
  • An early high kick by Jiménez toward Yeremy Pino was not met with a red card, prompting post-match debate over the decision.
  • The result marks Fulham's second straight defeat and leaves them near the lower reaches of the table as Palace strengthens its push for European places.
