As Crystal Palace drew 1-1 with Fulham on Saturday, there was one player who blew away Michael Dawson.
Oliver Glasner saw his side make it four unbeaten with a 1-1 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
Crystal Palace looked to be headed for defeat in the game before Jeffery Schlupp had other ideas, scoring what is the best goal you’ll see all weekend.
This secured the point for Palace and now, Glasner will have his side welcome a struggling Manchester United to Selhurst Park on Monday week
But during the game, there was one player who was in line to be labelled as “magnificent”. Here’s what was said.
Michael Dawson praises Adam Wharton for display vs Fulham
Speaking on Sky Sports during Palace’s draw with Fulham, Michael Dawson picked out Adam Wharton for praise, here’s what he said.
“Adam Wharton, who has been magnificent today.” Dawson began, which was the truth as the £22m midfielder was probably the player of the match.
But there was a moment in particular that Dawson loved and that was how Wharton assisted Schlupp’s goal.
“I loved the way he takes it on his back foot, tries to spray the ball through.”
To assist the equaliser is huge for Wharton as he continues to thrive since his January move from Blackburn.
