Crystal Palace vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Selhurst Park
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.

For Wolves, Collins has now served his three-game ban after his red card against Manchester City and is back in the starting XI alongside Kilman in central defence. Rayan Ait-Nouri is not in the squad, surprisingly, meaning there may have been a last-minute fitness issue.
