Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner was delighted with their 3-1 win at Wolves.

Michael Olise, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ebere Eze struck for Palace, which also saw Naouirou Ahamada sent off late on.

Glasner said: "It was very tough today, we had a little problem coming into the game. We had the injury to Will Hughes after 10 minutes but we scored two really nice goals in the first half. We knew Wolves would try to come back and this is what happened in the second half. We got the third goal. We work very hard as a team. Everyone was here for the team, it was a great effort.

"Everyone talks about our scoring and we create a lot of chances. But we kept the opposite team to less than 10 shots. We have a lot of quality in offence and have runners left and right. The defensive structure was really good today. Everyone wants to score and have good defensive structure. We struggled a bit in set plays but we did everything else well. The win was deserved."

On Olise and Eze, he said: "They have a lot of qualities. They are great players and can score goals. The first goal is Munoz running, giving Olise the chance to run inside and score the goal. The second goal is Clyne makes the sprint in behind. They have the quality but every goal has the guys who create the chances."

On Ahamada's red card, he added: "I have not seen it. It is the decision of the referee and we accept it. We did the best to bring the win home and that's what we did."
