Palace through to quarters

Crystal Palace reached the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with a 1-0 away victory against Fulham. Eddie Nketiah scored the decisive goal in the 37th minute, diverting Oscar Mingueza's cross into the net on Palace's sole first-half attempt. The win relieved pressure on manager Pierre Sage, who made 10 changes to his starting lineup following a weekend loss to Newcastle.

Fulham created several opportunities through Kenny Tete, Antonee Robinson, and Joachim Andersen, but Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson made crucial saves against Alex Iwobi and substitute Gonzalo Garcia to protect the lead. The triumph earned Palace a home quarter-final tie against Sunderland, marking the club's third consecutive appearance in the competition's last eight.
