Crystal Palace's late show earned a deserved 2-0 win at Wolves.

Jordan Ayew and Luka Milivojevic, from the penalty spot, scored in the final seven minutes to ease Palace's goal woes.

The Eagles' loan pursuit of Liverpool's Dominic Solanke looks over with doubts over his fitness while Wilfried Zaha stretched his goal drought to 14 games.

Wolves are chasing Chelsea's Tammy Abraham, currently on loan at Aston Villa, and both teams showed why they needed fresh firepower in a forgettable game. Re-live the action below:

What time does it start?

Player to watch

Wilfried Zaha: As one of the best dribblers in the league, Zaha is an absolute nightmare for any defender and is a vital aspect of Hodgson’s team. Despite the result, he looked bright against Chelsea last weekend and made a number of powerful runs and if he’s on his game this evening, he could definitely help his side leave with something.

Odds

Wolves to win: 21/20

Palace to win: 16/5

Draw: 11/5

Prediction

Wolves 1-1 Crystal Palace: Wolves have been brilliant all season against the top six sides but have let themselves down at times against the lower teams. Nevertheless, they sit in a great position just six points off Manchester United. Palace are a threat though when they’re on their game which I think they might be, I’m going for a draw

GOAL! Bournemouth 2-3 Watford (Ken Sema, 38 minutes)

THERE ARE MORE!

Watford are back ahead. It is a top volley from Ken Sema, picking out the bottom corner from 20 yards.

But wait...

GOAL! Bournemouth 3-3 Watford (Ryan Fraser, 40 minutes)

WHAT IS IN THE WATER ON THE SOUTH COAST?!?

FOUR GOALS IN SIX MINUTES!

Junior Stanislas' ball across is left by two Bournemouth players, allowing it to run into Ryan Fraser's path, and the Scotsman's firmly struck drive levels things up again.

Crazy stuff.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 43 minutes

With the attacking explosion at the Vitality Stadium, I have rather neglected the action at St James' Park.

It remains 0-0 with half-time drawing near. Manchester United are now in the ascendency with greater control over the game, but the clear chances have dried up a little.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:44

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 45 minutes

Mohamed Diame's challenge on Paul Pogba has left him a little sore, and he is down receiving treatment as two minutes of stoppage time are signalled.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:45

​Half-time at St James' Park. Newcastle started brightly with chances for Christian Atsu, while Manchester United have had moments, but it is goalless through 45 minutes.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:48

And a remarkable half of football is over at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth 3-3 Watford the half-time (!) score.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:49

Meanwhile, the four earlier kick-offs have resumed.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:49

Ryan Fraser fires home the sixth goal of a ridiculous first half at the Vitality Stadium.

55 minutes

Still just those two goals shared by ten-man Huddersfield and Burnley to speak of in terms of action from the 7.45pm kick-offs.

Deadlock at Stamford Bridge, the London Stadium and Molineux.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:59

GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Brighton (Dale Stephens, 56 minutes)

Goalless no more at the London Stadium!

A well-taken goal from Dale Stephens, meeting a Lukasz Fabianski punch from a Brighton corner on the volley and finding a beautiful finish.

A first ever Premier League goal for Stephens, and Brighton lead.
