Crystal Palace continued their celebrations after their FA Cup triumph with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. Eddie Nketiah was the hero of the night, scoring twice to secure the three points for Palace.
The atmosphere at Selhurst Park was electric as fans basked in the glory of their historic FA Cup win over Manchester City. Despite falling behind to an early goal from Wolves’ Emmanuel Agbadou, Palace fought back with Nketiah leading the charge.
The young striker found the back of the net twice in quick succession before halftime, showcasing his clinical finishing skills. Ben Chilwell added a third goal for Palace with a deflected free kick, further extending their lead.
Wolves managed to pull one back through Jorgen Strand Larsen’s header, but it was not enough to derail Palace’s party. Eberechi Eze, the hero of the FA Cup final, sealed the victory with a well-taken goal in the closing stages of the game.
The win took Palace to their highest points total in the Premier League, capping off a remarkable season under manager Oliver Glasner. The team will now look to finish on a high when they face champions Liverpool in their final game of the season.
Nketiah’s impressive performance was a fitting tribute to his impact at the club, as he marked his first league goals in three months with a brace against Wolves. His partnership with Romain Esse and Ismaila Sarr proved to be a potent attacking force for Palace.
The night was also significant for Joel Ward, who wore the captain’s armband in his final appearance for the club after 13 years of service. His leadership and experience were instrumental in guiding Palace to victory on a memorable evening at Selhurst Park.
