English-born forward of Ghanaian descent Eddie Nketiah netted a brace in Crystal Palace’s penultimate game of the season in their win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Nketiah scored twice in the first half as Oliver Glasner’s side picked up a 4-2 win at home on Tuesday night.
Wolves went ahead in the game after 24 minutes when Emmanuel Agbadou scored from Jorgen Strand Larsen.
That lead only last three minutes.
Nketiah hit a brilliant curler into the bottom corner after being played through by Romain Esse to draw Palace level.
Five minutes later, a good combination play involving Daniel Munoz, Ismaila Sarr and Nketiah saw the latter scored from just yards out to give the Eagles the lead.
After the break, Ben Chilwell scored from a free kick off a deflectiom from a Wolves player to make the scoreline 3-1 in the 50th minute.
Strand Larsen pulled one back for Wolves before Eberechi Eze came off the bench to score the fourth of the game for Palace, wrapping up all three points.
With his brace against Wolves, Nketiah now has three goals and one assist in nine league starts for the Eagles following his arrival from Arsenal.
