Oliver Glasner marked a year in charge of Crystal Palace, leading them to the fifth victory in the right victory with a 2-0 win in Fulham in a form.
In a performance that summarized Glasar’s reign, Palace opposed Fulham’s dominance in possession to see her own goal of Joachim Andersen and the Exalted effort of Daniel Munoza helped them stun the side of Marc Silva and limit them to zero shot on target.
Fulham started the game more secure than two teams, dominating the possession early. Their fans were maybe a touch frustrated when Judge Rob Jones looked like he had released playing when Chris Richards moved to Emile Smith Rowe to stop the move. However, these feelings of frustration became a loud anger because the challenge of Will Hughes on Calvin Bassey was unpunished.
Palace took the lead from the resulting shot to the corner while Joachim Anderson looked at the ball into his net, despite the fact that Maxenance Lacroix sought a goal during his celebration.
Palace struggled with the lead to the second half, where they first doubled the lead only to refuse them when Eberechi eze found Jean-Philippe Matet Centhime. Although his goal was chalk, Mateta was at the center of the goal when Palace eventually found a second.
Fulham was punished for over -playing, and the counterplace led by Mateta resulted in Munoz received the ball at a narrow angle before his effort went into the end corner.
Silva continued to dominate the ball well in eight minutes of added time, but Palace keeper Dean Henderson remained untested.
The regional Fulham screen denies them the opportunity to move to the top seven, while Palace is up to 13 years.
Silva: We were not at the level
Fulham safe Marco Silva::
“Before the match, we knew it would be a tough game, they make it difficult on the way to any team they play against. We knew it would be hard to break them.
“We have to move the ball faster – in the first half we moved the ball too slowly in the buildup of the passage. We expected them to be a little more aggressive in the first pressure, but they changed it, they sat more inside the middle block and showed respect for themselves.
“In the first minutes, I think we broke well, a few moments, a few good moves. Our last decision, the last cross, the last passage was not at the level and therefore we did not create a lot of chances in the first half. But these types of games can happen .
“We have to look for ourselves. Even with the bad performance of the judge, in my opinion, we are not at a level that we should [be]. “
Glasner: We know we’re hard to play against
Crystal palace safe Oliver Glasner::
“We know that when we are as disciplined as today when everyone is investing so much, it’s hard to play against us.
“We do not give you a lot of space, but we have to be disciplined because we define areas where we want to pass or allow them to pass, and then we know what we want to do.
“But everyone has to be focused and it’s easy when we talk about it before and it’s easy to talk about it after that. They may have had a sprint, and their heart rate is 180 and you have to do it again.”
