Commentary
Referee Sam Barrott brings an end to a hectic London derby as Palace run out 3-2 winners at Craven Cottage. In truth, Fulham will be shocked not to walk away with the three points themselves, given the number of chances they had across the game, but are forced to settle for a third consecutive Premier League defeat under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa. King got the hosts going on 11 minutes when he slotted home with his left from inside the box, before Mitchell equalised for Palace on the 35-minute mark. Fulham rallied to retake the lead before the break, though, when Palacios fired home his first goal for the club from close range. Still, Palace were undeterred and equalised once again through Mitchell after scrappy defending from the home side. Fulham responded well, though, and looked destined to grab a winner after creating chance after chance in the second half. Henderson had to work hard to deny Palacios and Bobb, while Muniz also squandered a golden chance late on. And yet it wasn't to be for the hosts, as Chilwell rose for Palace on his first game since rejoining the club to fire home a winner on the volley in the 77th minute. Unsurprisingly, Fulham recorded the higher xG, putting up 3.13 to Palace's 1.97, and the hosts now look to a difficult trip at Liverpool next weekend. Meanwhile, Palace have their first win under new manager Pierre Sage and prepare to welcome Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup on Tuesday. That's all for this one, thanks for joining us!
FULL-TIME: FULHAM 2-3 CRYSTAL PALACE
ANOTHER CHANCE GOES BEGGING FOR FULHAM!! The hosts have had more than enough opportunities to salvage a point today, if not win the game. This time it's Bassey who launches the ball into the box, finding the head of Garcia. Muniz then gets a slight touch before it makes its way through to Larsson at the back post, but the latter can only scuff the ball into the hands of Henderson. Larsson HAS to be doing better there.
Wow, that is so poor from Sessegnon. He initially does well to win his side a corner down the left, but somehow kicks the ball out of play when he steps up to take it and Palace are awarded a goal-kick. Palace will be delighted, but the home fans are furious.
There will be FOUR minutes of stoppage time. Still plenty of time for a late twist...

Palace's Osorio also comes on for Kamada.
