Wolves 2-0 Crystal Palace: Julen Lopetegui's side take big step towards Premier League survival

Wolves took a huge step towards securing their Premier League status for next season with victory over Crystal Palace at Molineux.

In a match low on clear-cut chances, Wolves went in front after three minutes when Ruben Neves' corner bounced off the knee of Palace centre-back Joachim Andersen and in off the crossbar.

The goal came in a lively opening few minutes that quickly gave way to an altogether more scrappy and tetchy affair that was settled by Neves' stoppage-time penalty.

Albert Sambi Lokonga came closest to providing a Palace equaliser before half-time but his snapshot from eight yards out was saved by Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa.
