Glasner is having a long conversation with Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare well after the final whistle. They're the only two left out on the pitch.
Not sure how they know each other but Arokodare was on loan at Koln when Glasner was at Wolfsburg so perhaps then #CPFC

Yeremy Pino has just followed Maxence Lacroix in going over and pumping his fists to the Palace fans! They respond by singing his song #CPFC

Full-time: Wolves 0-2 Palace
Palace found a way to win. A fortunate first goal but a fantastic second through Yeremy Pino.
A deserved victory but could have been easier if not for wastefulness in the final third
Fourth in the Premier League table for now #CPFC

Eddie Nketiah very very close to a brilliant third Palace goal. Curls it just wide of Sam Johnstone's goal with a one touch shot

Chris Richards is forced off with what seemed like a quad/hamstring issue. Jaydee Canvot replaces him.
He's able to walk off without too much obvious discomfort and sits on the bench so it doesn't seem to be too serious. You'd imagine he'll sit out against Strasbourg on Thursday though #CPFC

There's a Wolves fan sitting behind the press box and he's been reeling off songs about several of their recently departed players.

Pino booked for a cynical trip on Munetsi to stop him breaking. Palace really stretched for the first time in this game and looking very vulnerable #CPFC

Wolves starting to play some very fluid football for the first time in this game. It's causing Palace problems and really helping their fans to start making some noise. A through ball to Tchatchoula is wasted when he falls over in a good position.

Half-time: Wolves 0-0 Palace
Palace have had the better of the game so far but nothing to show for it after Mateta missed a great chance.
They look so dangerous in transition as usual but struggling to find the right ball or execute it at the end. #CPFC

Palace's defenders have really struggled with balls over the top/high balls today. Nothing really comes of the latest one but Richards doesn't quite know what to do with himself #CPFC

42': A classic Palace transition move. Guehi to Sarr, shapes to play it right to Munoz who puts it across the face of goal but no one can reach it to apply the finishing touch #CPFC

Mateta's movement has been brilliant this afternoon. A shame he didn't finish that chance because he's really doing well to make intelligent runs #CPFC

Big call from Anthony Taylor as Maxence Lacroix is in all sorts of bother against Strand Larsen. Last defender, very far out, he is fouled but surprised Taylor didn't let it play out.
Palace had done really well through Mateta who played in Munoz and his ball across wasn't quite converted #CPFC

24’: Guehi fouls Strand Larsen just outside the top of the D, kicks his foot. Palace hadn’t cleared very well from a goal kick.

Jean-Philippe Mateta misses an absolutely huge chance to score one vs one with Sam Johnstone. Wharton passes to Pino whose first time flick finds Mateta.
He runs onto what is a through ball only to take a few touches and then shoot wide of the goal. He should score. #CPFC

13': VAR check for a penalty after Sarr is brought down by David Moller Wolfe but the decision remains as just a free-kick outside the box.
It was very close but I think that was the right call #CPFC

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥
