Fulham rounded off a perfect week with a brilliant performance in a 2-0 win against Crystal Palace.
Despite Fulham dominating the ball in the first half, Palace had the better chances. A Marc Guehi header just missed the target, and a Jean-Philippe Mateta effort was cleared off the line.
Right at the death of the first half, Emile Smith Rowe intercepted a loose pass from Maxence Lacroix, who played a quick one-two with Raul Jiminez before slotting the ball in the bottom corner.
Smith Rowe had the ball in the net again, but VAR ruled the goal out for offside.
Palace looked like they could get something from the game until Daichi Kamada’s red card for a horrible tackle.
Once again, Harry Wilson came off the bench and had a huge impact on the game. He scored once, and only VAR denied him another brace.
Here is how the Fulham players performed:
Bernd Leno - 8
He made a crucial save with the game level. The keeper just got enough of a touch on the header to slow the ball down, giving Joachim Andersen the chance to clear off the line.
Kenny Tete - 7
Tete helped Fulham get up the pitch when in trouble and stopped Ismaila Sarr and Tyrick Mitchell from causing a threat down the right.
The right-back was the victim of a nasty challenge from Kamada, which he thankfully got up from.
Joachim Andersen - 7.5
Returning to his former side, Andersen was calm and composed on the ball, allowing Fulham to stay up the pitch.
Mateta caused the defender a few problems with the forward getting ahead of him occasionally, but Andersen always recovered well.
Calvin Bassey - 7
It was a good performance from the Nigerian, Bassey used his pace to cover Robinson when he went flying forward.
Antonee Robinson - 7
Another solid performance from the left-back, who is always an option on the overlap with him having seamlessly endless energy.
Andreas Pereira - 7
The Brazilian helped Fulham dominate the midfield and spring forward on the counter.
The midfielder forced Dean Henderson into two impressive saves. One hit the keeper in the face, with the other being tipped over the bar.
Sander Berge - 7.5
Once again dominated the midfield, not giving Palace any space on the ball, helping Fulham to put the pressure on.
Alex Iwobi - 8.5
The Nigerian has been brilliant this season. His confidence is high, with some fancy flicks and wonderful passes.
His assist for the second goal was nothing short of sublime, and his pass to Wilson was perfect.
Emile Smith Rowe - 8.5
The midfielder had a brilliant chance to open the scoring early on, but he took too long on the ball, allowing Lacroix to put a challenge in.
When he got a second chance, he did not make the same mistake again with a lovely finish into the corner.
Smith Rowe was unlucky to have his second ruled out because he was a millimetre offside, but he is starting to show just how good he can be.
Reiss Nelson - 7
He had a great chance to give Fulham the lead, but his shot was straight at the keeper.
Despite this, his contribution to the game was massive, as his connection with Smith Rowe allowed Fulham to pass the ball quickly through the middle of the pitch.
Raul Jimenez - 7
The forward struggled to create many chances today as Palace kept him out of the game. Jimenez only had two shots, both of which missed the target.
Despite his lack of threat in front of goal, his link-up play gives Fulham a great platform to build off.
The Mexican got a lovely assist for the opening goal with his pass, sending Smith Rowe through on goal.
Rodrigo Muniz - 6
He came on with the game at 1-0 but struggled to get involved, only having five touches.
Harry Wilson - 8
The Welshman continued his excellent form with another goal just a minute after coming off the bench.
He once again had the ball in the Palace net, but VAR denied him a second brace in a week as the ball brushed his hand.
Adama Traore - 6
The Spaniard came on for the last few minutes, almost coming away with an assist if it wasn’t for Wilson’s handball.
Tom Cairney - N/A
Harrison Reed - N/A
