Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
An early own goal and a late penalty gave Wolverhampton Wanderers a vital three points in their bid to keep clear of the Premier League relegation zone as they ended Crystal Palace’s unbeaten run under stand-in manager Roy Hodgson with a 2-0 home win on Tuesday.
Wolves had a dream start after a third-minute own goal from Joachim Andersen and made sure of the win after another horrific mistake, this time by Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone who gave away a stoppage-time penalty, converted by captain Ruben Neves.
Victory put Wolves nine points clear of the bottom three places, joining Palace on 37 points.
The result ended Hodgson’s run of three wins and a draw since returning to Palace in the wake of Patrick Vieira’s sacking last month.

PENALTY TO WOLVES! It's a poor touch from Johnstone when it comes back to him and he lunges towards the ball, going just over it and catching Neto. The referee is in no doubt as he points straight to the spot.

Into five minutes of stoppage time here and it's Wolves that are on the attack at the moment. Neves manages to poke it forward for Neto down the right, but he can't get it out of his feet before Guehi gets across to him.
