  3. GREAT SAVE!published at 90 mins+3

    Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palace

    Palace pour forward again on the break - it should be three but Cheikhou Kouyate's stinging shot with men over is tipped wide by Fabri.

    Pape Souare is on for the final throes. Patrick van Aanholt replaced.

    Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palace

    Too little too late - Aboubakar Kamara smashes into Wayne Hennessey's legs from a tight angle as we head into five minutes of stoppage time.

  6. GREAT SAVE!published at 89 mins

    Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palace

    Really nice save from Wayne Hennessey - again. Ryan Sessegnon hangs at the back post and plants a header across goal that the keeper does brilliantly to claw out.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 88 mins

    Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palace

    Cheikhou Kouyate coming on for his debut for Palace. Andros Townsend replaced.

    Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palace

    Tricks from Wilfried Zaha. Party mood now. It wins space for Patrick van Aanholt on the overlap. The cross is cleared but only to Andros Townsend, who fizzes a low shot straight at Fabri.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 83 mins

    Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palace

    Another change to tell you about - Alexander Sorloth is on for Christian Benteke. Fresh legs to see out the win with pressure up top.

    GOAL- Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palacepublished at 79 mins

    Wilfried Zaha

    That will seal it. Palace have kept Fulham at arm's length and here comes the sucker punch.

    It's a great run and pass from 20-year-old Croydon-born Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who feeds Wilfried Zaha. The Ivory Coast forward then coolly draws the keeper and slides home. It's slick and composed.

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    As the camera pans to the stands, Shad Khan, the Fulham owner, is getting a bit of shut-eye it seems.

    FIFTEEN to play.

    Fabri comes rushing out to claim a long ball and slips - almost disastrous but there are men covering.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 74 mins

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Mamadou Sakho does enough - it ain't pretty - to get a Cyrus Christie cross to safety. In comes the corner, Jean Michael Seri's swirling delivery is pinged away and his second bite drifts too long. Goal-kick Palace.

    Two changes to tell you about: Andre Schurrle and Joe Bryan have been replaced by Luciano Vietto and Aboubakar Kamara. Attacking moves because the home side are running out of time.

  13. Postpublished at 70 mins

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Joe Bryan is down again - getting more treatment on what looks like the same problem as before. They may have to make a change now.

  14. Postpublished at 67 mins

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Fulham still bossing possession here but they need a goal - and fast. Slavisa Jokanovic looks on - an intense gaze from the sidelines.

  15. CHANCE!published at 64 mins

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Down the other end, Aleksandr Mitrovic rises to head a cross into the gloves of Wayne Hennessey. Well watched again from the Palace keeper.

  16. CLOSE!published at 63 mins

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    He should score - Wilfried Zaha is in free on goal after Christian Benteke's knockdown. Close to goal, he angles a right-footed shot that is just stopped by Fabri's legs. The keeper just stayed big. HUGE chance to double the lead.

  17. PENALTY SHOUTpublished at 62 mins

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Big shouts from the Fulham fans - and you really do see those given.

    Mamadou Sakho with a clumsy slide tackle in the box as Andre Schurrle flicks the ball into space beside him and it looks like there is contact from the Palace defender.

    The referee Mike Dean dramatically waves away the protests.

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Nice work again from Jean Michael Seri in midfield, holding off men almost twice his size to retain possession. Fulham need to find the rhythm and adventure they showed earlier again.

  19. CHANCE!published at 54 mins

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Christian Benteke should do better with this - Patrick van Aanholt fizzes a powerful 20-yard drive at Fabri, the ball spills back, but the Belgian is slow to react.

    Then as Palace turn the screw again, Wilfried Zaha sends in a low cross that Andros Townsend can't quite connect with.

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Looks like Joe Bryan is fine to carry on. He's back in position. Actually he's just played a lovely ball down the line to Ryan Sessegnon but the 18-year-old was offside.
