PREM: Crystal Palace 0-1 Wolves

Matt Doherty scored the only goal of the game

Wolves made it four wins from their last five Premier League matches with a 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace, who are still yet to score at home this season.

Matt Doherty scored the winner in the 54th minute, firing past Wayne Hennessey at the near post after a one-two with Raul Jimenez.

Palace threatened an equaliser but Rui Patricio made a fantastic double save to deny Max Meyer and Jeffrey Schlupp.

Ivan Cavaleiro crashed a shot against the bar at the other end but Wolves held out to move up to seventh in the Premier League.

Wolves have now gone unbeaten in six successive top-flight games for the first time since 1979 while Palace's scoring struggles at Selhurst Park have seen them pick up just one point from four home matches.

Roy Hodgson's side made an encouraging start to the contest as they pinned Wolves back inside their own half.

However, aside from a cross from Wilfried Zaha that was fizzed across the face of goal, Palace created little, and it was the visitors who went closest to breaking the deadlock.

Jimenez dragged a shot wide on the counter and was then denied by a superb one-handed save from Hennessey.

Schlupp fired over from inside the box in the 34th minute before Diego Jota sliced off target at the other end.

Doherty gave Wolves the lead after half-time, cutting in from the right, playing a one-two with Jimenez and then finishing past Hennessey.

Palace came close to levelling as Jordan Ayew headed over from a corner and Patricio saved in quick succession from Meyer's sweetly-struck volley and Schlupp's follow-up shot.

Schlupp then saw a close-range effort blocked by Willy Boly, but there was no late surge from Palace after Cavaleiro struck the bar with a first-time shot from inside the box.
