Fulham teenager Joshua King delivered yet another goal contribution as the Cottagers took the lead against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Just over 10 minutes into the match, the 19-year-old collected a loose ball on the edge of the box, skipped beyond his markers and saw his deflected effort end up in the back of the net.

After losing their opening two matches against Chelsea and Sunderland, Álvaro Arbeloa's side are chasing their first points of the campaign.

Palace believed they had found an equaliser soon afterwards, but the home side were rescued by an offside decision following VAR intervention.

King's goal also means that, among teenagers, only Bournemouth pair Junior Kroupi (13) and Rayan (7) have recorded more Premier League goal involvements since the start of last season.

The Fulham youngster has now moved onto five, with England manager Thomas Tuchel watching from Craven Cottage.

However, Fulham were unable to hold on to their advantage, with Palace eventually levelling through Tyrick Mitchell.
