They may have greeted each other with a giant bear hug before kick‑off but Marco Silva must be sick of facing Oliver Glasner. After enduring two defeats against Crystal Palace here in the space of five weeks earlier in the year, the Fulham manager could only watch in horror as Marc Guéhi’s late header sealed another victory that moved Palace into the top four.
Glasner has made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Palace’s transfer business in the summer, having beaten Fulham on their way to winning the FA Cup, and he was without the influential Daniel Muñoz for their latest trip to west London. But the Austrian has proven during his 18 months at the helm that he has a habit of finding a way to win and this was a typically shrewd performance from his well-drilled side.
