Dwight Gayle

Crystal Palace had to settle for a 2-2 draw at Fulham in the final match of the Premier League season.

They were heading for all three points after Dwight Gayle's double but Fulham's Chris David scored a wonder goal in stoppage time to claim a point.

Both sides started brightly with Fulham's Hugo Rodallega just failing to get on the end of David's cross.

Yannick Bolasie then drew a good save out of David Stockdale before the Eagles went ahead on 28 minutes. Joel Ward's shot on goal was heading straight at Stockdale but Gayle nipped in to divert the ball into the net.

Palace went in at half-time deservedly in front, but the home team were transformed in the second half and should have scored when Rodallega somehow headed Fernando Amorebieta's cross wide.

They equalised just past the hour mark as Rodallege passed to Cauley Woodhouse on the right of the area and as Ward slipped, the Fulham man curled a beauty past debutante Palace keeper Wayne Hennessey.

Gayle restored Palace's lead with a right-footed curling free-kick for his eighth goal of the season and fourth in two games.

Just as Palace thought they were signing off the season with a win, up popped David in the third minute of stoppage time with a 30-yard wonder goal that flew into the top corner giving Hennessey no chance.
