LONDON (AP) — Jeffrey Schlupp scored an 87th-minute wondergoal to rescue a point for Crystal Palace in a 1-1 draw with Fulham in the English Premier League on Saturday.
The former Ghana international received a pass by Adam Wharton before his first touch teed up a thunderous strike that rocketed into the top left-hand corner for a goal-of-the-season contender.
Fulham took a while to get going at Craven Cottage but took the lead in the 52nd through Rodrigo Muniz, who headed home to take his league tally for the season to nine.
Both teams are safe from relegation, with Fulham in 13th place and Palace three points further back in 14th.

BOSTON (AP) — Vladimir Tarasenko and Carter Verhaeghe scored on the same Bruins double-minor, Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 14 shots and the Florida Panthers beat Boston 6-2 on Friday night and take a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
Evan Rodrigues scored twice, and Brandon Montour also connected for the Panthers, who have won back-to-back games after dropping the opener at home. A 6-1 winner Wednesday night, Florida scored 10 straight goals before Jakub Lauko made it 4-1 early in the third and Jake DeBrusk followed with 11:31 left to make it a two-goal game.
But Boston, which played the final 20 minutes without captain and No. 2 scorer Brad Marchand, could get no closer before Sam Reinhart added an empty-netter with 1:24 left. Rodrigues scored again — Florida’s fourth power-play goal of the game — in the final minute.
Now the Bruins need a win at home on Sunday night to avoid a 3-1 deficit heading back to Florida for Game 5.
