FULHAM and Crystal Palace’s Premier League clash came to a complete standstill when two players fought for the ball.
Palace defeated the Cottagers 2-0 on Saturday at Craven Cottage thanks to an own-goal by Joachim Andersen and a goal by Daniel Munoz.

Andersen, 28, though, didn’t go viral for accidentally sending the ball behind his own net against his former club.
But for a bizarre standoff he had with former team-mate Eberechi Eze down the left wing.
Eze, 26, gained possession of the ball and was marked by the Fulham ace.
The England international waited for Andersen to come for the ball but his opponent stood there and looked at him.
The Denmark international then pointed at his wrist like it had a watch on to tell the Palace star to get on with it.
The forward tried to bait Andersen with some tricks but the centre-back wouldn’t leave his position.
The standoff continued for about 10 seconds until Eze finally passed the ball away.
Fans were left absolutely baffled and amazed as they stormed social media.
One fan tweeted: “The only way to defend against Eze.”
Another commented: “Defender’s nightmare.”
A third wrote: “Just hope you’re not the one on the receiving end of that skill!”
This fan said: “Scared of getting skinned alive by Eze.”
And that one stated: “This is a funny game indeed.”
