Marc Guehi’s equaliser denied Wolves their first Premier League victory of the season, as Crystal Palace claimed a share of the points in an entertaining 2-2 draw at Molineux.

Following Southampton’s win over Everton earlier in the day, the result left Wolves stranded at the bottom of the table, still searching for their first victory after 10 matches.

With the league’s weakest defence, Wolves nearly fell behind on several occasions in the first half, as Daichi Kamada and Eddie Nketiah came close, only for Trevoh Chalobah to inadvertently block a shot from his own team-mate, Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Jorgen Strand Larsen and Joao Gomes helped Wolves come from behind to take the lead after Chalobah’s opening goal, but Guehi’s equaliser prolonged Wolves' winless run.

It could have been worse for the home side, as Mateta’s stoppage-time goal was disallowed by VAR, leaving both teams to settle for a point.

Only five teams have managed to avoid relegation after failing to win any of their opening 10 games, and Wolves now find themselves one of only two sides in the division without a victory, along with Ipswich, while Palace hover just above the relegation zone on seven points.

Gary O’Neil made one change for Wolves, bringing Pablo Sarabia in for Mario Lemina, while Oliver Glasner had to start Daichi Kamada and Ismaila Sarr due to injuries to key players Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton.

Glasner’s side were the first to threaten, as Craig Dawson blocked Will Hughes’ powerful shot, and Kamada’s follow-up was caught by Jose Sa.

Palace should have taken the lead in the 30th minute.

Chalobah evaded the offside trap from Guehi’s header across the goal, miscuing the ball perfectly into the path of Mateta just five yards out, but the striker blasted it straight at the Chelsea loanee with an open goal beckoning.

Matheus Cunha looked lively for Wolves, setting up Sarabia, who fired directly at Dean Henderson, who took the shot to the face to keep the scores level just after the break.

Sensing nervous energy at Molineux, Crystal Palace broke the deadlock on the hour mark.

Sa failed to deal with Hughes’ lofted free-kick, leaving Chalobah to strike into an empty net.

O’Neil responded with three substitutions that drew boos and chants of “you don’t know what you’re doing” from the home fans, displeased with their manager’s decisions.

Wolves nearly lost their composure when Ismaila Sarr pounced on a loose pass from Nelson Semedo, only to curl his shot wide.

Molineux erupted in the 67th minute. A superb pass from Santiago Bueno found Cunha’s run, and he squared the ball for Strand Larsen, who calmly slotted it past Henderson.

Wolves turned the match around just five minutes later. Once again, Cunha was at the centre of the action, slipping the ball to Goncalo Guedes, who pulled it back for Gomes to score and make it 2-1.

Palace hit back as Wolves struggled to handle another set-piece.

Daniel Munoz reacted first to a corner, flicking Kamada’s delivery towards Guehi, who was waiting at the back post to tap it home.

Palace thought they had snatched a late winner when Sa spilled the ball into the path of Mateta, who bundled it in, but referee Anthony Taylor ruled it out for Munoz’s foul on the goalkeeper.
