Wolves 2-2 Crystal Palace
Kevin Nolan
Former West Ham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt is poor, poor defending from Wolves. Again they lose the first contact at the corner and Marc Guehi runs around the back with no one near him and he has the easiest of tap ins at the back post.
GOAL - Wolves 2-2 Crystal Palacepublished at 77 mins
Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace)
The first half was, quite frankly, rubbish to watch, but this has turned into a brilliant second half.
Marc Guehi makes it 2-2, smashing in a knock down from Daniel Munoz following a corner. Fine finish from a centre half. Back level again.

Jimmy: Does this mean Wolves fans need to start singing ‘You Do Know What You’re Doing’?
Anon: Listening to the Wolves fans singing 'You don't know what you are doing' to Gary O'Neill when making subs. Maybe they should be singing 'Perhaps you do know what you are doing'?

Wolves 2-1 Crystal Palace
Kevin Nolan
Former West Ham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveWe just said that Crystal Palace would be haunted by their many missed opportunities and now they have been punished.
Lovely lay off from Goncalo Guedes for Joao Gomes and a great side footed finish into the bottom corner. Lovely move from Wolves.

James: Those Wolves fans shouting O'Neil doesn't know what he's doing should be ashamed. Even more so now. What makes them think they know better?!
GOAL - Wolves 2-1 Crystal Palacepublished at 71 mins
Joao Gomes (Wolves)
From one down to 2-1 up. Mario Lemina, one of the players to come on when some Wolves fans chanted 'you don't know what you're doing' at Gary O'Neil, finds another of those substitutes in Goncalo Guedes.
Guedes' low cross is then finished well by Joao Gomes.
The substitutions have transformed this match. O'Neil deserves a lot of the credit.

Wolves 1-1 Crystal Palace
After only scoring once in his first six Premier League appearances, Jorgen Strand Larsen has since scored in three of his last four for Wolves (three goals).
'A lovely touch'published at 69 mins
Wolves 1-1 Crystal Palace
Kevin Nolan
Former West Ham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveTrevoh Chalobah just gets caught under the ball and it is a lovely touch to bring it down by Matheus Cunha. He then slides a lovely ball across the box to Jorgen Strand Larsen, who tucks the ball through the legs of Dean Henderson.
GOAL - Wolves 1-1 Crystal Palacepublished at 67 mins
Jorgen Strand Larsen
It's 1-1 at Molineux. A cross-field pass from right to left finds Matheus Cunha and he is too good for marker, before playing a pass for an unmarked Jorgen Strand Larsen. The finish is low, hard, composed and we're level.

I can’t deny that he is trying hard, but Nketiah must be thinking if he will ever get his first goal.Toby
£30m for Nketiah has to be one of the worst signings in Premier League history. He offers absolutely nothing.Gary

Wolves 0-1 Crystal Palace
Kevin Nolan
Former West Ham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe frustration is starting to show from the home fans now, with many of them shouting 'You don't know what you're doing' in response to Gary O'Neil's substitutions.
Hopefully Gary has got a move up his sleeve and the side can get back into this. It is important that the fans stay with the team because they need them now more than ever.

Wolves 0-1 Crystal Palace
A triple change from Wolves boss Gary O'Neil as on come Jean-Richer Bellegarde, Mario Lemina and Goncalo Guedes, replacing Toti Gomes, Tommy Doyle and Pablo Sarabia.
The changes don't go down well with the home fans, who loudly question O'Neil's decisions.

Wolves 0-1 Crystal Palace
Palace almost double their lead. It falls to Ismaila Sarr unmarked, central but the finish is poor with him off balance and the ball goes over the top.
'Keeper was in no man's land'published at 18:48 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Wolves 0-1 Crystal Palace
Kevin Nolan
Former West Ham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt is a big mix up in the Wolves defence; Jose Sa should be coming out shouting for the ball but his defenders don't hear him. The defender ends up heading the ball wide to Trevoh Chalobah and he takes the chance. We can't take anything away from the strike from Chalobah, but the keeper was in no man's land.

Trevoh Chalobah
Crystal Palace's Trevoh Chalobah missed a glorious chance in the first half and then got in the way of the follow-up, but he's the one to put the Eagles ahead.
It's a mess from Wolves, with Jorgen Strand Larsen heading the ball away from goalkeeper Jose Sa, when the number one was about to collect the ball.
The ball falls to Chalobah and he makes up for his earlier miss by putting the Eagles ahead with his first goal for the club.

Kasim: I am sorry but as a Wolves fan we are going down this season. We are absolutely dreadful. Can’t score to save our lives. End this season, sign some decent players, and start fresh next season.
End the season in November? You've only played nine and a half matches.
'Wolves more direct and with more pace'published at 18:40 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November
Wolves 0-0 Crystal Palace
Kevin Nolan
Former West Ham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveWolves have been playing higher up the pitch and going forward a lot quicker, looking to go in behind and look for Jorgen Strand Larsen a bit earlier. They did a lot of side to side passing in the first half but they are going more direct and with more pace.

Match Facts
All six Premier League games between Wolves and Crystal Palace at Molineux have been won by a two-goal margin – Wolves’ three wins have all be 2-0, while the Eagles have won 2-0 twice and 3-1 once.
Crystal Palace have won six of their last seven Premier League games against Wolves (L1), as many wins as they’d managed in their previous 20 league matches against them (D4 L10).
Wolverhampton Wanderers are winless in nine Premier League games this season (D2 L7). They’ve only had a longer winless start to a top-flight season once, going 14 games in 1983-84.
Crystal Palace’s Premier League games this season have seen the fewest goals of any side (6 for, 11 against), while Wolves’ games have seen the most goals (37). Palace’s last three games have all ended 1-0 (W1 L2), while Wolves haven’t had a game end 1-0 since April against Bournemouth.
Wolves have conceded 25 goals in nine Premier League games this season, just the third side to ship 25+ at this stage of a campaign along with Southampton in 2012-13 (26) and Fulham in 2018-19 (25).
Crystal Palace have lost just two of their last 22 Premier League matches against teams starting the day in the relegation zone (W11 D9) but one of those defeats was in their most recent such match against Everton in September.
Wolves have lost their last five home Premier League matches, last enduring a longer home losing run in the league between January and April 2012 (nine). Only four previous teams have lost their opening five home games in a Premier League season: Portsmouth in 2009-10, Bolton in 2011-12, Newcastle in 2018-19 and Burnley in 2023-24.
Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze has been involved in 53 shots in the Premier League this season (37 shots, 16 chances created), with only Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer (54) having more shots and chances created combined.
Matheus Cunha has scored in 15 Premier League matches for Wolves but only ended on the winning side in three of them (D3 L9). Among players to have scored in 15 games, only Dean Windass (also 20%) has as low a win ratio as Cunha in Premier League history.
Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored 16 goals in his last 20 Premier League starts for Crystal Palace. Mateta’s 17 Premier League goals in 2024 are the most by a Palace player in a calendar year.
