They may have greeted each other with a giant bear hug before kick-off but Marco Silva must be sick of facing Oliver Glasner. After suffering two defeats to them here in the space of five weeks earlier in the year, the Fulham manager could only watch on in horror as Marc Guéhi’s late header sealed another victory for Crystal Palace that moved them into the top four.

Glasner has made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Palace’s business in the summer having beaten Fulham on their way to winning the FA Cup and he was without the influential Daniel Muñoz for this trip to west London. But the Austrian has proven during his 18 months at the helm that he has a habit of defying the odds and this was a typically shrewd performance from his side after Harry Wilson’s wonder goal had cancelled out Eddie Nketiah’s opener on his first Premier League start of the campaign. It was left to Guéhi, who is set to leave the south Londoners at the end of the season when his contract expires, to seal the victory that will have Palace’s supporters dreaming of what might be possible under their remarkable manager.
