Premier League round-up
Crystal Palace beat Fulham to move into 4th position
Marc Guehi’s superb late header against Fulham lifted Crystal Palace to fourth place in the Premier League with a 2-1 win over their London rivals.
Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring for the visitors but a superb effort from Harry Wilson made it 1-1 and brought Fulham back into the game.
However, Guehi secured the win for Oliver Glasner’s side with a late goal at Craven Cottage.

Brighton fail to beat West Ham United at home
A dramatic late strike from Georginio Rutter earned Brighton a 1-1 Premier League draw after Jarrod Bowen’s moment of brilliance had almost handed West Ham a rare victory over their long-time nemesis.
It was a goal that nearly sealed just a second-ever win for West Ham against Brighton in 17 league encounters, but the hosts rescued a point in stoppage time when Rutter finally found a way past Alphonse Areola.
