Crystal Palace came from behind to seal a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Selhurst Park.

Adama Traore broke the deadlock on 31 minutes as the hosts struggled to create clear-cut chances in the first half.

But Eberechi Eze shifted the momentum two minutes after the restart when he nodded in Michael Olise’s cross.

Wilfried Zaha handed Palace the win, firing past Jose Sa to seal all three points and his side’s second consecutive home victory.

The hosts came close to opening the scoring on four minutes when Cheick Doucoure’s effort from 25 yards pinged off the right post.

Diego Costa drove into the area but could not beat Palace keeper Vicente Guaita, who dove to parry away any danger of the visitors taking an early lead.

Olise, who set up the first goal in Palace’s last victory at Selhurst Park, curled in a corner where Marc Guehi rose to meet it but nodded off target.

Palace saw more of the ball in the opening exchanges but struggled to find the finishing touch, turning it over in the final third and equalling their opponents on just one shot on target apiece by the 25-minute mark.

CHANCE! Palace move it quickly around the edge of the box, with Zaha receiving the final pass. The winger shoots, and the ball just skims off the top of the net. He groans in frustration as we edge closer to half-time.

Due to the injuries, we will be getting at least four minutes of added time in the first half.

Jose Sa comes out to punch away the ball, but he catches Kilman as well. He's down receiving treatment.
