Despite a managerial change, Fulham couldn’t shake off their struggles as they fell to Crystal Palace in a thrilling encounter at Craven Cottage. Crystal Palace, under the new leadership of Pierre Sage, continued their winning streak in this fixture, adding another victory to their tally with a late goal from Ben Chilwell. The former England international, who joined the club permanently after a successful loan stint, made a significant impact by coming off the bench to secure the win with a stunning volley.
For Fulham and their new head coach Álvaro Arbeloa, the match was a harsh lesson in resilience. The team initially took the lead twice, courtesy of standout performances from Josh King and César Palacios. However, they were unable to maintain their advantage, with Tyrick Mitchell equalizing on both occasions. The disappointing result left some home fans expressing their frustration as the team remains winless in the league after three games.
