Ghana defender Jeffrey Schlupp was on target for Crystal Palace in their 2-0 win over Fulham in the English Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Palace proved too strong for Fulham once again as they replicated opening day result against them on matchday 25 of the league.

The Eagles commenced the ongoing campaign with a convincing 2-0 win over their London rivals at the Craven Cottage last August.

Roy Hodgson's men went into the game with the aim of returning to winning ways after a 1-1 draw with Southampton in midweek.

They indeed had a bright start as Luka Milivojevic buried his penalty into the roof of the net in the 25th minute.

Palace killed off the match on the 82nd minute through Jeffrey Schlupp. Michy Batshuayi fired in a promising shot which ricochets off Fulham goalkeeper Sergio Rico back to Jeffery Schlupp inside the box and he sent the ball into the back of the net.

Fulham is the only side in the English top-flight that the Ghana international has scored two goals in the same season.

Schlupp has bagged 4 four goals in 21 matches for Palace in the ongoing season.
