Ghana's Jeffrey Schlupp was on target as Crystal Palace handed Fulham a 2-0 defeat in the English Premier League on Saturday.

Palace captain Luka Milivojevic opened the scoring from the spot mid-way through the first half after Cyrus Christie handled in the area.

Jeffrey Schlupp then added a late second as he tapped in the rebound following a Sergio Rico's fantastic save to deny deadline-day arrival Michy Batshuayi, who had come on moments earlier.

The goal was his fourth in 22 topflight matches, involving 10 starts, so far this season.

Schlupp lasted for the entire duration of the game, while compatriot and club-mate Jordan Ayew was substituted in the 82nd minute.
