Wolves 0-2 Crystal Palace
Wolves’ European hopes suffered a further blow as they slipped to a third successive Premier League defeat against an impressive Crystal Palace at Molineux.
A dominant start by the visitors was rewarded when Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring from close range after fine build-up play by Conor Gallagher and Wilfried Zaha.
Zaha then found the net himself from the penalty spot to double Palace’s lead before half-time after Jeffrey Schlupp was tripped by Max Kilman.
It could have been even better for the Eagles but for two fine saves from goalkeeper Jose Sa to deny Gallagher and Michael Olise.
The home side offered little in response, with Vicente Guaita equal to efforts from Daniel Podence and Chiquinho.
The win moves Patrick Vieira’s side into the top half of the table on goal difference, while Wolves remain eighth.
