After a memorable 2025, Crystal Palace started 2026 with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against a resurgent Fulham.
Amid a slow start to the game, Jean-Philippe Mateta ignited things with a close-range header following good work from Nathaniel Clyne.
Palace could have extended their lead, but the Cottagers fought back, and after Raul Jimenez hit the post, Tom Cairney curled in an equaliser.
Despite late Fulham pressure, Palace held firm and both sides took away a point.
