Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Crystal Palace: Adama Traore sends hosts through

Wolverhampton Wanderers beat Crystal Palace to reach the FA Cup fourth round with "a special goal from a special player", says boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

Adama Traore's scorching left-foot drive was decisive for the hosts against a much-changed Palace side.

Prior to his strike from the edge of the box the Spain winger had not scored for Wolves since 27 February 2020.

"I am very happy because I think this goal will boost his confidence," Nuno said.

On an evening when the finishing was otherwise lacking in quality, the Wolves manager appeared to turn and say "wow" to his bench following Traore's sparkling effort.
