Eagles stroll to Wolves win

January 1 2013

Crystal Palace ended their winless run with a comfortable 3-1 triumph over Wolves.

Going into the game, the Eagles were without a victory in five outings and had dropped out of the automatic promotion places.

But they made light work of a tepid Wolves side that is struggling at the wrong end of the Championship.

Palace went ahead just past the half-hour mark with a brilliant free-kick from Brazilian midfielder Andre Moritz. Wilfried Zaha was fouled by Bakary Sako and Moritz curled a beauty into the top right corner.

Eight minutes later, Palace extended the lead after some poor Wolves defending as Zaha sent through Yanick Bolasie to score.

Seven minutes after the break, Moritz got his second goal of the afternoon with another fine free-kick into the top left corner after he was fouled by Roger Johnson.

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake pulled a goal back for Wolves on 75 minutes with a cool finish on the turn but Palace saw out the game to claim a vital three points.
