Wolves have had a difficult start to the season where they haven't won a game in the Premier League yet, losing five games and drawing three.
Crystal Palace, however, picked up 3 points last time out in the Premier League against Tottenham where they picked up a 1-0 victory.
It was Crystal Palace who took the lead after a goalless first half in the 60th minute with a goal from Trevoh Chalobah which was followed 12 minutes later by an equaliser from Wolves due to a goal from Strand Larsen.
Two more goals followed; one goal came in the 72nd minute which gave Wolves the lead with a goal from Joao Gomes. However, the lead didn't last long as four minutes later Crystal Palace equalised after a goal by Marc Guehi to deny Wolves all three points.

Story of the Match
Wolves made only one change from the team that faced Brighton with Lemina being dropped to the bench being replaced by Sarabia allowing Joao Gomes to play in a central midfield position.
The rest of the Wolverhampton Wanderers' team was unchanged with Strand Larsen starting up top and Cunha playing just behind him with the usual defence of Toti, Craig Dawson and Santiago Bueno.
Crystal Palace had a couple changes to make after their midweek victory against Aston Villa which came at a cost due to the injuries of Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton who were both replaced by Kamada and Nketiah as Palace set up for a more of an attacking style.
Palace looked lively from minute one when a huge chance came in the 7th minute after Sarr pulled a pass backwards, but Nketiah missed the ball and the pass continued to roll to Hughes who hit the ball left-footed from inside the box had his shot blocked which lead to Kamala following through with a shot from the block which Sa saved.
Wolves produced a nice break in the 24th minute when Sarabia pushed the ball out wide to Cunha who put the ball into the box while Sarabia continued his run to meet the cross, but unfortunately for Wolves Henderson collected the cross.
The Eagles pushed for a goal before the break when in the 36th minute Mateta moved his body past three Wolves defenders, but his shot was blocked. Mitchell was the first to the ball and he lifted the ball towards Munoz only for him to send his header over the bar.
Wolves got the play under way after the break with a chance in the 49th minute when Cunha played Sarabia behind Palace's defence when the shot was blocked by Henderson's face.
The goal that Crystal Palace were searching for came after the break in the 60th minute when Kamada laid the ball to Hughes as a cross came into the box which was initially knocked down by Larsen but fell to the feet of Chalobah who drove the ball into an empty net.
Another chance for Palace came only a minute later when Sarr missed a huge opportunity to double the lead, but he sent the shot far over the bar.
Wolves hunted for an equaliser which came in the 67th minute after Chalobah missed a diagonal ball over to Cunha that he placed into Larsen who took his time and finished his goal by putting the ball through Henderson's legs.
The Molineux erupted in the 72nd minute when Wolves took the lead thanks to Guedes' composed assist to set up Gomes inside the box as he slots the ball into the back of the net.
Only six minutes later in the 78th minute the game was equal once again due to a corner taken by Palace as Munoz flicked a header on a to the back post where Marc Guehi was waiting to tap the ball in making it 2-2.
Both team were in search of a winning goal as seven minutes were added to game after the original 90, however a chance came for Crystal Palace in the 96th minute which was ruled out due to VAR.
The final whistle sounded as both teams collected a point from the fixture resulting in Wolves remaining bottom of the table with only three points and Crystal Palace in 17th with seven points as it stands.

Player of the Match - Joao Gomes
In a match which was crucial for both teams, Joao Gomes stepped up for Wolves to run the midfield throughout the game.
His energy for 90 minutes was immense and pushed Wolves on to turn the game around, especially when his goal put Wolves ahead with a neat finish.
It was not the result Wolves nor Gomes wanted, but his performance should be praised.
