Crystal Palace Sink Winless Wolves as Rob Edwards’ Reign Starts With Defeat

The result leaves Wolves stranded on two points after 12 games with serious relegation fears.

Overview

  • Daniel Muñoz broke the deadlock on 63 minutes, finishing after Adam Wharton’s shot from a short corner deflected off Maxence Lacroix into his path.
  • Yeremy Pino doubled the lead six minutes later with a powerful effort from the edge of the box that rattled in off the underside of the crossbar.
  • It was Rob Edwards’ first match since being appointed Wolves’ permanent manager 10 days ago following his departure from Middlesbrough.
  • Wolves remain bottom, winless with 10 defeats in 12 league matches and nine points from safety, and are reported as the only team without a victory across England’s top seven tiers.
  • Palace were reported to climb to fourth with the clean-sheet win as Molineux’s early applause for Edwards turned to boos at full time.
