FT
Full-time: It's all over and with this win, Crystal Palace move into the top five. Fulham, meanwhile, remain bottom and are still searching for their first victory.
90'+5
GOAL! Fulham 1-2 Crystal Palace (Tom Cairney): Cairney scores - but it's too little, too late for Fulham. It's an outstanding goal from the Fulham captain - a 25-yard left-footed shot into the top corner.

90'+3
Goal ruled out! Zaka thinks he has his brace following his finish from van Aanholt's cross - but he's in an offside position.
90'+2
Over! It hasn't been Fulham's day. Aina's cut-back finds Cairney, but he's clearly lacking confidence and lifts his shot miles over the bar.
90'
van Aanholt's first-time effort is comfortable for Areola. There will be SIX minutes of added time!
88'
Red card! Kamara rakes his studs down Eze's Achilles and although the referee initially produces a yellow card, Graham Scott goes over to have a look at the pitchside monitor and then upgrades his yellow to a red! More bad news for Fulham!

82'
There is a concern about Riedewald, who has gone down with an injury. Benteke had been about to come on for Batshuayi, but Hodgson may need to replace his midfielder now.
80'
Fulham sub: Lemina makes way for Reed, who has 10 minutes to make an impact.
79'
Batshuayi fancies his chances from 25 yards, but his effort is straight at Areola. That would have capped it!
78'
Palace are looking very, very comfortable as enter the final 15 minutes of the contest. They're moving up to fifth, as it stands.
76'
Palace sub: Eberechi Eze comes on for Schlupp.
73'
Fulham sub: Bobby Decordova-Reid comes on for the anonymous Loftus-Cheek.
72'
Palace sub: Patrick van Aanholt comes on for Clyne, who has enjoyed a solid enough second debut.
71'
Fulham are starting to feel sorry for themselves and they remain static as Mitchell forces a save from Areola at his near post.
70'
No penalty! Cairney goes down inside the box after contact from Kouyate, prompting calls for a Fulham penalty - but the referee isn't interested. After a VAR check, the decision stands.
68'
Close! Mitrovic's pass leaves Lookman with an awful lot to do, but he creates the space for a shot and slices it just wide of Guaita's goal.
66'
Fulham sub: Aboubakar Kamara comes on for Anguissa.

Zaha is going to be fine to continue. What an afternoon he's had! He now has five goals this season - more than the entirety of last term!
64'
GOAL! Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palace (Wilfred Zaha): Zaha gets the goal his performance deserves as Palace double their lead! And again, it comes against the run of play! Townsend's pass releases Batshuayi and his low cross to the back post is finished by Zaha, although he collides with the post!
