From the source

Eddie Nketiah steered Crystal Palace into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup as they won 1-0 at Fulham. The striker scored in the first half of their fourth-round tie at Craven Cottage, to help ease the pressure on under-fire boss Pierre Sage.

Fulham dominated the first half and missed a slew of chances, only to see Palace take the lead with their first shot of the game on 37 minutes.

Oscar Mingueza burst down the right and crossed for Nketiah to flick in with a deft touch. Fulham then continued to push after the break, with Alex Iwobi going closest as he forced a point-blank save from Dean Henderson from a corner.
