Crystal Palace beats Fulham 3-2 after Ben Chilwell scores late winner

In a week where Crystal Palace said goodbye to Daniel Munoz - their former attack-minded right wing-back who has now joined Nottingham Forest - Tyrick Mitchell and Ben Chilwell showed goals from wing-backs are not disappearing. All three goals showed intent and endeavour to get forward from deep positions, though Fulham's defence was lacking. First, Mitchell was put through on goal by Eddie Nketiah.

Crystal Palace have now conceded two or more goals in nine consecutive league games for the first time ever. Crystal Palace full-back Tyrick Mitchell netted a brace for the first time in his club career, with his two goals marking the first time he had been on the scoresheet in the Premier League in 36 games.

The managers may have changed but the result stays the same. For the fourth successive trips to this part of west London, Crystal Palace returned to south London with all three points in the bag as Pierre Sage got his reign off the mark in dramatic style. Their hero was Ben Chilwell, the former England left-back who was signed on deadline day from Strasbourg after helping Palace to win the FA Cup last May, after he came off the bench to volley home the winner. It was a bitter blow to take for Fulham’s new manager Álvaro Arbeloa, who had seen his side lead twice through the impressive Josh King – showing his real potential in front of the watching England manager, Thomas Tuchel – and César Palacios before being pegged back twice by Tyrick Mitchell, the second in bizarre circumstances. They left the pitch to boos from some supporters and remain pointless after three matches. Full report to follow Continue reading...
