Trevoh Chalobah put Palace ahead on the hour mark, drilling into an unguarded net after Jorgen Strand Larsen inadvertently headed Will Hughes’s cross away from his own goalkeeper Jose Sa.

However, Chalobah’s missed interception allowed Matheus Cunha to tee up Larsen’s 67th-minute equaliser, then Wolves went ahead within five further minutes.

Joao Gomes stroked home after good work from substitute Goncalo Guedes but Wolves and their under-fire head coach Gary O’Neil were denied a vital win by Palace skipper Marc Guehi.

He was alive to convert at the back post after Daniel Munoz flicked on a corner, keeping Palace four points clear of Wolves in 17th, and the Eagles could have won it in stoppage-time, only for Jean-Phillipe Mateta’s strike to be disallowed for Munoz’s foul on Sa.

O’Neil’s side remains 20th after Southampton recorded its first win of 2024-2025 against Everton, ahead of a huge clash between the division’s bottom two clubs next week.
