“Can we play you every week?” chanted the Crystal Palace fans as they celebrated a fifth victory over Fulham on their own patch in the space of 18 months.
Eddie Nketiah’s first-half goal against the run of play eased some of the growing pressure on Pierre Sage as Palace booked a third consecutive appearance in the quarter-finals of this competition.
The good news for Sage is that Arsenal – who beat them on both of those occasions – have already been eliminated. However, he knows that Saturday’s game at Tottenham will have much more bearing on whether he is still around by the time it resumes in mid-December against Sunderland.
