Crystal Palace Vs Wolves: Guessand’s 90th‑minute strike ends home drought
In the latest crystal palace vs wolves meeting, substitute Evann Guessand turned in Tyrick Mitchell’s low cross in the 90th minute to give Crystal Palace a 1-0 win over 10-man Wolves at Selhurst Park, breaking Palace’s run without a home victory since early November and easing immediate relegation fears.
Crystal Palace Vs Wolves — late winner after a tense contest
Evann Guessand’s late winner was his first goal in the Premier League and came after a game of missed chances and a decisive red card. The Ivory Coast forward, on loan from Aston Villa since the winter transfer window, turned in Mitchell’s cross to settle a match that had threatened to finish goalless.
Wolves spurned chance; penalty saved and a tame spot‑kick
Bottom club Wolves looked set to take the lead in the first half when Tolu Arokodare was awarded a penalty, but his tame effort was saved by Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson. Later, Yerson Mosquera’s underhit backpass presented Yeremy Pino with a chance; Pino lobbed goalkeeper Jose Sa but the effort bounced well wide of the open goal.
Krejci sent off after two quick bookings
Ladislav Krejci, the Czech Republic centre‑back for the visitors, was sent off just after the hour mark after receiving his second booking in four minutes. The dismissal handed Palace the numerical advantage, but the hosts did not find the breakthrough until Guessand’s late touch.
Palace form, fan unrest and organisational complaints
Palace have been in poor form since manager Oliver Glasner announced last month that he will leave the club when his contract expires in the summer. Some fans called for him to leave now during their Europa Conference League draw at Zrinjski Mostar in midweek, and a segment of supporters at Selhurst Park held a banner complaining about both the club’s board and Glasner. Despite saying he intends to stay, Glasner’s side produced another underwhelming performance before Guessand’s fortunate finish.
Strand Larsen’s move and Palace attacking struggles
Three weeks after making a £48m move from Wolves, Jorgen Strand Larsen made his third league appearance for Palace against his former club. In his first 180 minutes of league football for Palace he has scored two goals, more than his one goal in 1405 minutes for Wolves this season. The 26‑year‑old Norway striker, however, looked starved of service here and had just one shot — a first‑half effort that was blocked on the edge of the box. Palace’s only other chances before the interval came from a Wolves error and a well‑worked set‑piece.
