Guéhi's Strike Thwarts Wolves' League Win Hopes, Hands Crystal Palace Victory
Clinical Palace Counter
Marc Guéhi's second-half strike condemned Wolves to a frustrating home defeat against Crystal Palace, denting their hopes of a Premier League victory. The Eagles capitalized on Wolves' defensive lapse to secure a valuable three points in their relegation battle.
Clinical Counter-Attack
After a cagey opening half, Palace struck with ruthless precision in the 56th minute. A loose pass from Rúben Neves set Jordan Ayew free down the left flank. The Ghanaian forward drove into the Wolves area and squared the ball for Guéhi, who tucked the ball home from close range.
Wolves' Frustration
Wolves dominated possession and created several chances, but they lacked the clinical edge to find the equalizer. Adama Traoré and Daniel Podence had their moments, but their shots were either wide or saved by Vicente Guaita.
Palace Resilience
Palace defended resolutely throughout, with Joachim Andersen and Guéhi forming a solid partnership at the heart of their defense. Wilfried Zaha and Ayew also worked tirelessly to create chances on the counter-attack.
Crucial Points for Palace
The victory is a major boost for Palace's survival hopes, moving them to within three points of safety with two games remaining. Wolves, meanwhile, remain in 15th place and must win their final two games to secure their Premier League status.
