Pape Souare earns Crystal Palace pre-season draw at Fulham

Fulham and Crystal Palace draw 1-1 in a pre-season friendly just a week before the new season starts.

A second-half header from Pape Souare has denied Fulham a pre-season win over Premier League side Crystal Palace.

Palace started strongly as Glenn Murray was released over the top of the defence but he blasted the ball high into the stands.

Fulham responded by taking the lead a couple of minutes later as Ben Pringle sprung the offside trap and calmly slotted the ball past the keeper.

The Premier League side continued to push forward and went close through a Yohan Cabaye effort, while Andy Lonergan was forced to parry a crisp Murray strike across goal.

Palace hit back straight after the break as Murray flicked a Jordan Mutch corner into the path of Souare, who firmly headed the ball into the back of the net.

Two minutes later, they almost took the lead as Murray volleyed straight at Lonergan from a Jason Puncheon lofted pass, before Wilfried Zaha missed from close range at the back post.

James McArthur bent an effort marginally over the bar as Palace continued to dominate, until Fulham almost stunned the away side against the run of play.

Kostas Mitroglu surged forward at pace before finding Tom Cairney, but his effort went slightly wide.

Both sides continued to attack, but neither could find a late winner.
