A brilliant goal from Tom Cairney secured a point for Fulham and extended Crystal Palace's winless streak in the Premier League during a tense match at Selhurst Park. Substitute Cairney curled an outstanding shot from the edge of the area, equalizing after Jean-Philippe Mateta had given Palace the lead with a header.

Palace appeared to be in control of the match until they faded after halftime. Raul Jimenez came close to scoring for Fulham, hitting the post with a header just before the hour mark.

Fulham nearly snatched a victory in stoppage time, but Dean Henderson made an excellent save to deny Timothy Castagne, and Joachim Andersen missed a close-range chance by sending the ball over the bar.

This result leaves Crystal Palace with four consecutive league games without a win, while Fulham remains unbeaten in their last four matches. Currently, Palace sits ninth in the Premier League table, just above Fulham on goal difference.

Earlier on Thursday, Tottenham attacker Brennan Johnson agreed to join Crystal Palace in a deal worth £35 million.
