Luka Milivojevic's opener was his seventh of the season
Crystal Palace claimed a hard-fought victory over a lacklustre Fulham at Selhurst Park.
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 the rebound following a Sergio Rico's fantastic save to deny deadline-day arrival Michy Batshuayi, who had come on moments earlier.
Vctory sees the Eagles rise to 14th while Fulham remain 19th - six points clear of safety.
