Palace go fourth to ruin Edwards’ Wolves homecoming

Crystal Palace powered into the Premier League’s top four as they condemned new Wolves boss Rob Edwards to defeat in his first game in charge.

Daniel Munoz and Yeremy Pino struck in the second half to move the Eagles up to fourth with a deserved victory at Molineux.

Oliver Glasner’s side were a class above the hosts with bottom club Wolves’ survival chances looking bleaker by the game, despite Edwards’ arrival from Middlesbrough this month.

Their former player replaced Vitor Pereira, but his side remain winless in the top flight after a poor start, with their last league victory back in April.

In failing to win any of the first 12 games – their first time since the 1983-84 campaign – Wolves also edged closer to Sheffield United’s record of 17 for the longest winless start to a Premier League season.
