Fulham booed off after third defeat in a row

Fulham were met with boos from supporters after their 3-2 Premier League loss to Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage. The team fell to their third straight defeat since replacing Marco Silva, who left for Benfica in the summer. Josh King and Cesar Palacios scored in the opening half, but Tyrick Mitchell and Ben Chilwell, who came on as a substitute, scored in each half to bring the match level.

Palace secured the win with Chilwell's goal just three minutes into his second appearance for the club. This leaves Fulham as one of only two teams to have lost their first three games of the Premier League season, alongside Coventry City. The previous defeats came against Sunderland and Chelsea, both of which finished 3-2. Fulham will face Liverpool and Manchester United next before a long break in fixtures due to the international period.

Arbeloa expressed his disappointment, stating that his players played with good attitude and bravery, but Crystal Palace capitalized on their opportunities. He acknowledged the challenges his team faces, yet he remains proud of their efforts.
