Wolves have moved nine points clear of the relegation zone after a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace.

They took the lead after three minutes when Joachim Anderson failed to sort out his feet and bundled the ball into the back of his own net.

Both sides had their chances but Julen Lopetegui's side bagged a second in stoppage time as Ruben Neves converted from the penalty spot after Palace keeper Sam Johnstone fouled Pedro Neto.
