Nketiah's goal takes Palace into the quarter-finals

Crystal Palace beat Fulham 1-0 at Craven Cottage in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup to reach the quarter-finals. The only goal of the match was scored in the first half by Eddie Nketiah.

Fulham dominated the first half but could not convert several clear chances. Palace took the lead with their first shot of the game in the 37th minute. Oscar Mingueza sent a ball from the right flank into the box, and Nketiah deftly touched it on target.

Fulham maintained their pressure in the second half. Alex Iwobi was left one-on-one with the goalkeeper from a corner, but Dean Henderson saved to keep the score level. In extra time, the hosts still could not find an equaliser, as Henderson again stopped Gonzalo Garcia's header with his hand.

The result gave Palace's head coach Pierre Sage some breathing room. With this win, Palace advanced to the next round of the Carabao Cup.
