Ghana international Jeffrey Schlupp’s late wondergoal saw Crystal Palace stretch their unbeaten run to four matches with a 1-1 draw at Fulham.

The Eagles were bidding to record a fourth Premier League win in a row – the first time they would have achieved that since June 2020, either side of Project Restart.

That three of those matches were being played in the space of seven days says much for the density of Palace’s recent fixture list – but having overcome West Ham and Newcastle United so convincingly at Selhurst Park in the space of four days, Palace took that confidence into the early stages at Craven Cottage, and dominated.

Winning three corners in the opening four minutes, the Eagles were consistently winning the ball high and – via an incisive pass or two from Adam Wharton and Will Hughes – breaking into the Fulham box.

And Palace were made to pay for their earlier profligacy when a clever passing move, with Andreas Pereira at the heart of it, resulted in Timothy Castagne producing a flat cross which Rodrigo – stooping six yards out – could not fail to plant home.

Glasner brought on a number of late substitutes – and it yielded a moment of magic from Schlupp to win it.In truth, it was a goal from nothing.

Jeffrey Schlupp had other ideas, taking a touch from Wharton’s pass, spinning and – from 25 yards out – striking the cleanest of shots into the top corner with the outside of his boot.

With plenty of positives to take at the culmination of a dense fixture list, a point was the least Palace deserved. And, true to recent form, they did so in style.
