Roy Hodgson's side scored with their first attack, with Jairo Riedewald grabbing his first goal for the club after latching onto Zaha's beautiful no-look reverse pass and slotting it past Alphonse Areola in the ninth-minute.
Fulham dominated possession, as they often do, but again lacked composure in the final third. Ademola Lookman struck the post and Aleksandar Mitrovic blazed the rebound over from point-blank range, as Scott Parker's men found themselves behind at half time.
In the midway through the half Zaha doubled Palace's advantage with a back-post finish from Michy Batshuayi's low cross to wrap up a comfortable victory at Craven Cottage.
Things went from bad to worse for Fulham as substitute Aboubakar Kamara was shown a straight red card for a rash foul on Eberechi Eze, before Tom Cairney scored a late consolation deep into added-time.
