Adam Wharton may have had the chance that he did not have his walking orders when he seemed to get started a few minutes after picking up a yellow card.
Palace had offered very little threat very little in the opening exchanges. So he came largely against the game race when they got closer to the head, Jefferson Lerma crushed a sublime volley against the crossbar with Bernd Leno well beaten in the goal of Fulham.
But if only thumbs refused fans outside a special moment in FA Cup, everything would be forgotten a few moments later when Eze picked up the ball on the left side. The man in England, who scored his first senior international goal on Monday, cut inside and folded a sumptuous strike in the most distant corner to give the head to Palace.
The Eagles soar. Less than five minutes after putting its side in front, Eze had the ball again on the left. This time, the Palace Number 10 transformed the supplier, delivering a teasing cross which was encountered by the Sarr chief to double the advantage of the south of London.
