Match action from Crystal Palace's 2-0 triumph over new Premier League side Fulham.

Roy Hodgson made a return to his old club Fulham where he led the Cottagers to the Europa League final.

Fulham started strongly and Palace were grateful to Wayne Hennessey who made some vital saves.

Against the run of play, Jeffrey Schlupp fired Palace in front just before half-time.

It was the midfielder's first Palace goal.

Palace started to make their mark on the game after the interval.

Wilfried Zaha made sure of the points with Palace's second goal on 79 minutes.

The forward was delighted to net his first goal of the campaign.

Young right back Aaron Wan-Bissaka impressed by setting up Zaha's goal and keeping a clean sheet
