Jeffrey Schlupp's late stunner left goalkeeper Bernd Leno with no chanceJeffrey Schlupp hit a 25-yard stunner as Crystal Palace salvaged a Premier League point at Fulham.
Adam Wharton's pass found Schlupp outside the box in the closing stages, with the substitute's powerful effort arrowing into the top corner to leave goalkeeper Bernd Leno helpless.
Rodrigo Muniz's thumping header had put Fulham in front shortly after the break.
The Brazilian got on the end of Timothy Castagne's pinpoint cross as he continued his fine form since the end of January.
But Palace, now four matches unbeaten in the league, showed fighting spirit to come back with minutes left to play, after being the better team in the first half.

Michael Olise, starting in place of the injured Eberechi Eze, had a promising chance for Palace early on but shot wide of the post.
It looked like the visitors could end up punished for their profligacy in front of goal when Chris Richards headed an Olise free-kick over the bar, while in-form Jean-Phillipe Mateta volleyed high over the bar from close range.
Fulham's best chances before the break came when Muniz almost caught Dean Henderson out at his near post and Issa Diop headed over from the resulting corner.
Fulham punished late on
Fulham have avoided defeat in their last 14 Premier League matches when scoring the opening goalMarco Silva's side had a record of eight home wins from eight in the Premier League when scoring the opening goal this season before Schlupp stunned Craven Cottage late on.
The hosts took the lead against the run of play and a draw was a fair result for two sides who are safe in the league for another season.
Andreas Pereira played a ball across the box into the path of Bobby Decordova-Reid but the forward shot high over the bar as the home side tried to build on Muniz's opener.
Alex Iwobi, who became the fourth Nigerian player to make 250 top-flight appearances, provided a cutback for Harrison Reed who fired over the bar as Fulham missed a chance to double their advantage before Palace's leveller.
