Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri insists they can recover from their 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.

A first-half penalty from Luka Milivojevic, and a late Jeffrey Schlupp strike was enough to condemn the Whites to defeat.

“If you analyse the match, we're a little disappointed after the first half," said Ranieri in his post-match press conference.

“We managed the ball very well, we created one chance with Mitrovic, and then there was a stupid foul, maybe [Cyrus Christie] hand was pushed, and that moment changed the match.

“If Mitrovic scored a goal in that moment, I think it would've changed the match, because when you're playing well and have a chance to score a goal, everyone becomes stronger, but that's football.

“We have to be positive. We have a target in mind, and we must continue to fight.

“We lost a match, we lost a battle, but not a war.

“Our performance was good in the first half and we tried to get everything from the match, but it wasn't enough."
