Fulham head coach Rene Meulensteen wasted no time in getting to work at Motspur Park after casting an eye over a strong Fulham reserve side in a behind-closed-doors friendly win over Crystal Palace this afternoon.
The former Manchester United coach, brought in to work alongside manager Martin Jol, watched from the sidelines as Adel Taarabt's strike earned the Whites a 1-0 victory over the Eagles.
First-teamers Sascha Riether, serving a three-game ban for a stamp on Adnan Januzaj, Fernando Amorebieta, Kieran Richardson, Damien Duff, Derek Boateng, Scott Parker, Darren Bent and promising youngster Moussa Dembele also got a chance to impress.
Taarabt staked a claim for a starting spot ahead of next week's clash with Swansea with the only goal of the game in the first half after being set up by Bent.
