Fulham secured a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, with Emile Smith Rowe and Harry Wilson scoring in each half. Smith Rowe netted just before halftime, converting Raul Jimenez's pass past Dean Henderson. Fulham's win moved them to sixth place, joining other teams on 18 points, while Palace's defeat left them 17th, just above the relegation zone.

Smith Rowe had another goal disallowed for offside in the second half. Daichi Kamada's red card for a foul on Kenny Tete further complicated matters for Palace. Wilson ensured Fulham's win by scoring seven minutes from time after receiving a precise pass from Alex Iwobi. Although another late goal by Wilson was ruled out for handball, Fulham celebrated another London derby success.

Fulham have now kept clean sheets in their last four away league matches against Palace. This is their longest streak without conceding against a single opponent on the road. The Cottagers are also unbeaten in seven consecutive Premier League London derbies, marking their joint-longest run without defeat in such encounters.

Wilson has been instrumental as a substitute, scoring his third goal within a week. Only Collins John has scored more times as a substitute for Fulham in one season than Wilson. His contributions have been crucial to Fulham's recent successes.

Kamada's dismissal added to Palace's woes, marking their third red card against Fulham in their last six Premier League matches. No other team has seen more players sent off against the Cottagers than Palace.

The match highlighted Fulham's strong form and defensive solidity, while Crystal Palace faced challenges that leave them precariously close to the relegation zone as they head into the international break.
