Wolves 0-2 Crystal Palace: Highlights, man of the match, stats as Yeremy Pino scores stunner

Wolverhampton Wanderers have slumped to their 10th loss of the season following a disappointing 2-0 Premier League defeat to Crystal Palace at Molineux Stadium.

The hosts were hoping for a new manager bounce after recruiting Rob Edwards from Middlesbrough, but the difficult reality of the situation was unveiled in his first game as Wolves managed just one shot on target.

Palace, on the other hand, improved their unbeaten run to five games across all competitions as goals from Daniel Munoz and Yeremy Pino powered the Eagles up to fourth in the Premier League standings.

Oliver Glasner and his men have now accumulated 20 points this season and currently find themselves just six adrift of league leaders Arsenal.

SPORTS MOLE'S VERDICT

Forget survival. Wolves are now on a mission to avoid being the worst team in Premier League history.

Edwards swapped a promotion bid with Middlesbrough for arguably the toughest gig in the top tier of English football, and the 42-year-old now knows the full extent of his situation.

Wolves have become just the eighth team in Premier League history to go winless in their first 12 games of the season, with their survival hopes looking woefully bleak.

Having picked up just two points this season, it is becoming clear that the current crop of players at Molineux are well out of their depth - something we could all see coming after the series of high-profile departures last summer.

While Wolves are already pondering their future in the Championship, Crystal Palace are seemingly mounting an unprecedented Champions League bid.

Glasner's men endured a difficult spell in October when they lost three of their four games across all competitions, but the Eagles appear to have returned to their very best form, and they are now unbeaten in five.

WHAT NEXT?

Wolves fans - look away! Fresh from his debut defeat at Molineux, Edwards will now set sights on a huge derby clash with Aston Villa next Sunday.

To make matters worse, the team have upcoming games against a rejuvenated Nottingham Forest, an improving Manchester United and a title chasing Arsenal. All this before facing Brentford, Liverpool and United again before the end of the calendar year.

Palace, on the other hand, turn their attention to European duties on Thursday as they prepare for a trip to Strasbourg.

Glasner's men will then have a couple of days to rest before hosting Manchester United at Selhurst Park next Sunday.
