Wolves’ Premier League campaign didn’t get much better on Sunday afternoon, though, manager Nuno Santo hopes it can be used as a ‘starting point’ for improvements in the near future.
They looked to be heading for a fourth consecutive defeat against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, but late heroics from Diogo Jota salvaged a point.
Joel Ward’s effort from range was deflected past Rui Patricio by his own teammate, Leander Dendoncker, to hand the home side an early second-half lead, then things went from bad to worse as Romain Saiss received his marching orders for picking up a second yellow card.
The equaliser came in the dying seconds of the match as Wolves launched a quick counter-attack through Adama Traore’s blistering pace. The right wing-back managed to cross the ball in for Jota to slot home.

Wolves remain second from bottom without a victory this campaign but having gone down to ten men, the result in south London could have been far more miserable.
Several of the Molineux faithful were quick to praise Traore for his contribution to the match.
One supporter claimed the 23-year-old was a weapon that no other team in the Premier League had while that was reinforced by another who described Traore’s performance as ‘sensational.’
The 5 foot 10 Spaniard began the game at right-wing – which has in the past been his usual position with Nuno deploying a 3-4-3 formation, but when Matt Doherty was substituted, he returned to right wing-back, where he has played all of this season.
Another fan believed Traore had been their best player this season with one more brandishing him as a ‘game-changer.’
Here’s the best of the reaction:
