Fulham earned a 3-0 win away to Crystal Palace on Monday to climb to eighth in the Premier League after the hosts had two players sent off.

Bobby De Corvoda-Reid, Tim Ream and Aleksandar Mitrovic were on target for Fulham. Palace had Tyrick Mitchell sent off in the first half and James Tomkins followed him down the tunnel in the second after a second booking.

The victory moved Fulham to 22 points after 16 games while Palace lie 11th on 19 points after 15 matches.

Palace striker Jordan Ayew hit the bar with the first big chance of the game. Then Fulham struck, De Cordova-Reid glancing in a cross from Mitrovic after a sloppy pass from Joachim Andersen was intercepted.

Moments later Palace’s fortunes unravelled further when Mitchell was shown a straight red card for a reckless tackle on Kenny Tete. Tomkins’s second yellow card came for pushing Mitrovic over.

Fulham took full advantage of having two extra players as Ream doubled their lead scoring his first Premier League goal at the age of 35.

Mitrovic then got the reward that his all-action performance deserved, heading in a cross from Willian in the 80th minute to take his tally for the season to 10 league goals.

Returning to Premier League action with an all-capital clash today, Crystal Palace entered the World Cup break occupying 11th place in the table. Defeats to Newcastle United in the EFL Cup and Nottingham Forest in the league - both without scoring a goal - left a sour taste at the end of the first phase of their season, but Patrick Vieira's men beat Real Valladolid 2-1 in their most recent friendly outing. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last five Premier League encounters with Fulham, dating back to October 2013.
