Crystal Palace 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers: Wilfried Zaha and Conor Gallagher stretch Eagles' unbeaten run

Wilfried Zaha and Conor Gallagher goals helped Crystal Palace overcome Wolves at Selhurst Park and stretch their unbeaten Premier League run to six matches.

Zaha's angled second-half finish from James McArthur's through-ball was initially disallowed for offside against the Ivorian, but the goal was awarded by the video assistant referee.

Gallagher doubled the Eagles' lead with 12 minutes remaining, his goal-bound effort taking a heavy deflection off Wolves defender Conor Coady on its way past goalkeeper Jose Sa.

Referee Graham Scott had awarded Wolves a penalty 10 minutes after Zaha's opener, but VAR ruled that Joel Ward's foul on Rayan Ait-Nouri had taken place outside the area and overturned Scott's original decision.

Patrick Vieira's side deserved the three points on the balance of play, with Odsonne Edouard testing Sa on a number of occasions and Christian Benteke going close to opening the scoring prior to Zaha's strike.

Wolves, who had won four of their last five league matches prior to their visit to south London, went closest through Raul Jimenez in the first half.

Palace's third league victory of the season lifts them up to ninth in the table, one point behind eighth-placed Wolves.

Both teams went into the game on the back of impressive victories - Palace winning 2-0 at champions Manchester City and Wolves beating Everton 2-1 at home - but they cancelled each other out in a first half lacking in cutting edge.

The hosts enjoyed the lion's share of possession and some of the approach play between Edouard, Zaha and Gallagher was very easy on the eye, but Sa was barely troubled in the Wolves goal.

The lively Edouard sent a low shot straight into the arms of the Portuguese - one of only two shots on target in an attritional first 45 minutes.

Jimenez's tame header was easily saved by Vicente Guaita in Wolves' only first-half effort on target.

The game burst into life shortly after the hour mark as Zaha found the far corner from a tight angle. Palace's celebrations were cut short by an offside flag, but VAR deemed that Zaha was being played onside by two Wolves defenders and awarded the goal.

The hosts got the rub of the green when Wolves' penalty was overturned but an equaliser would have been harsh on Palace, who were much improved in the second half and deservedly doubled their tally through Gallagher's deflected strike.

Remarkably, the Eagles have now scored 13 of their 15 league goals this season in the second half of games.

The result also means that Palace have remained unbeaten in their opening six home fixtures of a league campaign for the first time since 1993-94, when they were in the second tier.
