It was the way we did it, without competing,\u201d Vieira told BBC Match of the Day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFulham prepared their game really well and we weren\u2019t brave enough to play forward. I believe we had the best chance before they scored their goal, but we didn\u2019t do enough to deserve something from the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to give them credit, analyse ourselves and try to bounce back as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dominant throughout, Marco Silva\u2019s side were helped by Palace\u2019s indiscipline, which put a stop to their hopes of a fourth straight home win.<\/p>\n<p>The result strengthens the visitors\u2019 unlikely European push, as they sit in eighth, just two points off the top six.<\/p>\n<p>Heading towards the half-hour mark, Palace, having struggled to impose themselves early on, almost took the lead.<\/p>\n<p>Clever play by Michael Olise freed Jordan Ayew inside the area, but his effort crashed off the bar.<\/p>\n<p>Fulham made them pay moments later when Decordova-Reid headed the visitors into a deserved lead as Mitrovic pounced on slack play from Joachim Andersen before finding his team-mate with a pinpoint cross.<\/p>\n<p>The hosts\u2019 misery was compounded further when Mitchell was dismissed after Tete reached a loose ball first and was caught by the Palace man.<\/p>\n<p>Any chance of a quick Palace resurgence were quashed 12 minutes after the break. Tomkins, on a booking, appeared to elbow Mitrovic off the ball, resulting in the game\u2019s second red card.<\/p>\n<p>Ream then reacted quickly to Mitrovic\u2019s knock-down from a corner to double Fulham\u2019s lead on 71 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Referee Andy Madley checked the VAR monitor for a potential handball against the Serb, only to stick with his original decision, before Mitrovic made it three 10 minutes from time.<\/p>\n<p>            <!--  [embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries[\/embed]<!--\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>--><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"7KHYq8wONfo\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Harmattan Impact; High demand for shea butter in Accra as traders complain of shortage (26-12-22)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7KHYq8wONfo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobby de Cordova-Reid opened the scoring for Fulham Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira called his side\u2019s defeat by Fulham at Selhurst Park \u201cone of his worst days\u201d in charge of the club.
