Fulham had to settle for a point in a bitty mid-table meeting with Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.

Crystal Palace arrived at the banks of the Thames as the form side and that was plain to see in the opening minutes as a sloppy Fulham back line allowed Michael Olise to burst through and waste a good opportunity by firing wide.

Frustrations grew early around the Cottage as the hosts struggled to put together anything of promise with a start devoid of ambition. Nathaniel Clyne and Adam Wharton both fired long-distance shots over the top of Bernd Leno's goal as Chris Richards probably should have done better when he got his head to an Olise free-kick.

The Fulham goalkeeper needed treatment with 30 minutes on the clock, affording both sides the chance to huddle around their respective bosses - a frustrated Marco Silva raised his eyebrows in frustration as his men came for advice.

The Eagles perhaps began to regret not making the most of Fulham's careless start as Alexi Iwobi dropped deeper and began to drive his side forward in the run-up to half-time - Rodrigo Muniz almost managed to stab home a ball over the top of the Crystal Palace back three.

It was the Brazilian who then broke the deadlock shortly into the second half as Timothy Castagne burst forward and whipped a cross onto the striker's diving head and past the clutches of Dean Henderson.

A much-improved Fulham side still weren’t absent of errors as Mateta's physicality and Olise's pace caused problems before Silva turned to the fresh legs of Willian and Sasa Lukic for some added impetus.

It would have been harsh on Crystal Palace to leave west London without a point for their work and substitute Jeffrey Schlupp ensured that wasn't the case by rocketing a shot into the top corner from outside the box with just minutes left to play. Here's how the Fulham players rated.
