Crystal Palace earned a crucial 2-0 win against Fulham in their Premier League Round 26 encounter at Craven Cottage on February 22, 2025. The victory helps Palace move further away from the relegation battle, while Fulham missed an opportunity to strengthen their position in the top half of the table.
According to Reuters, the match turned in Palace’s favor in the first half when Fulham’s Joachim Andersen inadvertently scored an own goal in the 37th minute. Despite enjoying more possession, the home side struggled to create clear-cut chances. Palace extended their lead in the 66th minute through Daniel Muñoz, who fired in a well-placed shot to secure the three points.
As The Guardian noted, Fulham failed to register a single shot on target, highlighting their lack of attacking efficiency. Meanwhile, The Sun reported that this victory pushes Crystal Palace up to 13th place with 33 points, while Fulham remains in ninth with 39 points.
Palace will look to build on this momentum in the coming fixtures, while Fulham must improve their attacking threat to stay competitive in the race for European qualification.
