Fulham were being outplayed in the early moments of the match, but the momentum shifted in their favor when Pajtim Kasami scored a brilliant goal. Kasami made a diagonal run into the box and a well delivered pass helped set him up. Bringing the pass down with a chest-trap, Kasami then hit the shot on the volley to score from a very tough angle (19'). Near the end of the first-half Fulham took the lead when Steve Sidwell scored with another well struck volley. Bryan Ruiz hit a free-kick that was blocked by the wall. The rebound though fell right in front of Sidwell who blasted the volley to the upper-ninety (45').
Crystal Palace were not given much of a chance in the second-half as Dimitar Berbatov and Philippe Senderos each scored shortly after half-time. First Berbatov scored off a corner-kick with a glancing header to the far-post (50'). Moments later on another corner-kick Senderos was able to win the ball at the far-post and slip the shot under the keeper (55').
Now behind three goals after giving up an early lead, Crystal Palace could not manage to get back into the match. A few saves were required from Fulham keeper Maarten Stekelenburg, but in the end it was a comfortable road win for Fulham. Crystal Palace have another tough assignment with Arsenal on the weekend, while Fulham travel to Southampton.
