SNAPSHOT OF THE GAME

On the subject of records, It was the club’s fifth successive 2-0 away win in all competitions and sixth successive clean sheet away from home. It is now nine games on the road without defeat.
Fulham started slightly better, without ever really threatening Dean Henderson’s goal, but after the first quarter, there was only going to be one winner.
Former Palace central defender Joachim Andersen headed into his own net eight minutes before the break from a Will Hughes corner.
