Crystal Palace were 3-1 winners when facing Wolves in the early hours of Thursday morning GMT, here are the three best players from the game.
It’s now two wins on the bounce for Crystal Palace in pre-season as the Eagles made light work of Wolves, winning the game 3-1.
Jeffrey Schlupp, Jordan Ayew and Asher Agbinone all scored in the game for Oliver Glasner’s side as they take a step toward lifting the Stateside Cup.
The Eagles will now face West Ham on Sunday morning GMT with pre-season gold on the line.
But firstly, following the Wolves game, here are Palace’s three best players from the win.
Dean Henderson
Probably Palace’s man of the match, Dean Henderson was immense for the Eagles on his return from his extended holidays.
The first half saw him make multiple quality saves to keep Palace ahead in the game and the second half saw a similar display with a clean sheet to boot.
Henderson also contributed on the attacking front as he assisted Ayew to make it 2-0 in the second half with an impressive long ball which landed perfectly on the Ghanian’s boot.
Jeffrey Schlupp
In a second successive pre-season outing, Schlupp found himself scoring, this time with an immense finish from outside the box.
Schlupp capitalised on defensive mishaps by Wolves and finished excellently to hand the Eagles the lead at the time.
Aside from scoring, Schlupp was impressive on the ball and at holding up play, showing exactly why he was kept by Palace this summer.
Joachim Andersen
Once again, the first-choice centre-back trio were so strong against Wolves, almost impenetrable as they rejected Wolves’ advances on multiple occasions with Joachim Andersen shining.
The Dane is the leader in the back three and while Chadi Riad and Chris Richards are both excellent as well, it’s Andersen who is the centre-piece.
After watching this back three, it’s tricky to find a reason why a big bid for Marc Guehi shouldn’t be accepted this summer if it arrives.
