"Evann Guessand scored his first goal for Crystal Palace in the 90th minute as they eased the pressure on Oliver Glasner with a 1-0 win over 10-man Wolves. Glasner had come under fire from his own supporters in the build-up to Sunday's match after telling them to "stay humble", following a miserable run of form that had threatened to drag Palace into the relegation battle."
"Data Debrief: Henderson on the spot as Krejci dismissal costs Wolves Sunday's game turned on two key incidents, the first being Henderson's penalty save to deny Arokodare. Henderson - who was making his 150th Premier League appearance - has now saved five of the 15 penalties he has faced in the competition. His 33.3% penalty save ratio is the joint-best among all goalkeepers to face at least 15 spot-kicks in Premier League history, alongside Mark Bosnich (6/18)."
"Palace were arguably fortunate to see Will Hughes avoid a second yellow card, too, but Ladislav Krejci had no such luck when he kicked the ball away in the 61st minute, with his second caution reducing Wolves to 10 men. The visitors held firm until the final minute of the 90, but substitute Guessand met Tyrick Mitchell's cross on the slide to beat Jose Sa and clinch three much-needed points for Palace."
Evann Guessand scored his first goal for Crystal Palace in the 90th minute to secure a 1-0 victory over 10-man Wolves and ease pressure on manager Oliver Glasner. Glasner had faced criticism after urging supporters to "stay humble" during a poor run of form. Yeremy Pino struck the post for Wolves and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde tested Dean Henderson twice. Henderson saved Tolu Arokodare's 43rd-minute penalty and marked his 150th Premier League appearance. Will Hughes avoided a second yellow, but Ladislav Krejci received a second booking in the 61st minute, reducing Wolves to ten men. Henderson's penalty save and Krejci's dismissal proved decisive.
