CAIRNEY OFF THE BENCH TO SPOIL PARTY

TOM CAIRNEY came off the bench to score his first goal of the season and stop Crystal Palace celebrating their new record signing with a win.

And only a stunning injury-time save from Dean Henderson - and a huge miss from former Palace defender Joachim Andersen - prevented Fulham taking all three points back to West London.

Fulham boss Marco Silva went on to slam Tony Harringon for another refereeing controversy against his team before Palace's goal. Wales forward Brennan Johnson yesterday agreed to join the depleted Palace squad in a £35million transfer from Tottenham.

The £27m paid for Christian Benteke in August 2016 was their previous biggest signing but manager Oliver Glasner was reluctant to discuss the record-breaking addition. "It is respect not to speak about a deal until it is finally done. As soon as it is, I will let you know," he said.
