In its lair at the Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton (20th) hosted Crystal Palace (17th) for the 10th day of the Premier League. In this highly contested match, we had to wait until the second half to see the scoreboard change. After a missed exit from José Sa on a free kick, Trevor Chalobah took the opportunity to open the scoring for the Eagles (60th, 0-1). Served by Matheus Cunha, Jørgen Strand Larsen beat Dean Henderson to allow Wolves to equalize (67th, 1-1).

Seven minutes later, João Gomes took advantage of Gonçalo Guedes’ delivery to give Gary O’Neil’s men the advantage (72nd, 2-1). But Oliver Glasner’s Palace did not give up and was able to count on Marc Guehi to come back to the score (77th, 2-2). If Jean-Phillippe Mateta thought of giving Crystal Palace victory at the very end of the match (90th + 6), his goal was canceled by the VAR after a foul by Daniel Munoz. The two teams ultimately failed to decide between themselves and parted ways with a score of parity (2-2), which did not suit them. Wolverhampton remains in last position in the Premier League standings and is still racing towards its first victory this season. Crystal Palace are still 17th, two points ahead of Ipswich Town, first relegated.
