Fulham booed off after third defeat in a row

Fulham were met with boos from some supporters after suffering a 3-2 Premier League loss to Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage. The team, led by Alvaro Arbeloa, had previously defeated twice in the first half but ultimately fell to a third straight defeat following his arrival from Marco Silva. Josh King and summer signing Cesar Palacios scored in the opening half, but Tyrick Mitchell and Ben Chilwell each netted in the second half to secure the win for Palace.

The result leaves Fulham as one of only two sides to lose their first three Premier League games, alongside Coventry City. Arbeloa expressed disappointment, stating, "We didn't deserve to lose this game. My players did everything - good attitude, they were brave, so many chances to score more goals. They took their chances - in the end, football is about that."

Palace capitalized on their opportunities, while Fulham struggled to find an answer. Despite the loss, Arbeloa remains proud of his players' efforts. The team now faces tough fixtures against Liverpool, Manchester United, and a Carabao Cup tie with Chelsea.
