After a half-played second half, Strand Larsen was played through by Matheus Cunha, and alone with the goalkeeper he rolled in 1-1.
– The Norwegian scores when Wolverhampton needs it the most, said Viaplay commentator Jørgen Klem.
A few minutes later it was also 2-1. The hosts played nicely through the Palace defence, and João Gomes rolled in 2-1 in the near corner. It could have secured an extremely important Wolves victory, but in the 77th minute Marc Guehi made it 2-2.
Thus, Wolves are still without a league win this season. With 0-3-7 in statistics and 25 goals conceded, the club is last in the Premier League. In other words, Gary O’Neil remains a hard-pressed manager.
Strand Larsen, on the other hand, has had a good start in England, despite the team’s weak form. The Norwegian is a permanent fixture in the forward position and has recorded four goals and one assist since the start of the season.
However, on Saturday he also contributed with a goal-scoring pass at the wrong end of the pitch. The Norwegian headed away a cross straight into the legs of Trevoh Chalobah who hammered in 1-0.
Crystal Palace has also not delivered in line with expectations at the beginning of the season. The arrow still points in the right direction, and last weekend they secured their first league win of the season when they beat Tottenham 1-0.
