Wolverhampton Wanderers’ wait for a Premier League win goes on another week as they were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace which leaves them rooted to the bottom of the table and without a league win in 10 games.
There was little between the two sides in goalless first period which was played at low intensity in a nervous atmosphere. Palace wasted the best opportunity as Trevoh Chalobah completely missed a volley from just a couple yards out before then inadvertently blocking Jean-Philippe Mateta’s goal-bound follow-up shot, a sequence which summed up the first half.
The game came to life in the second half as Chalobah made up for his first-half blushes by opening the scoring from a set-piece following a mistake from Wolves ‘keeper Jose Sa.
As the boos began to ring around Molineux the home side responded with two goals of their own, the first being a composed Jorgen Strand Larsen effort before Joao Gomes applied an emphatic finish to round off a quick counterattack.
Just as Wolves started to believe that elusive win was coming Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi pounced at a back post from a corner to bring The Eagles back to level terms.
