Eddie Nketiah scores twice in Crystal Palace win over Wolves

Eddie Nketiah, an English-born forward of Ghanaian descent, scored twice for Crystal Palace. This happened in their second-to-last game of the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Nketiah's goals came in the first half. Crystal Palace won the match 4-2 at home on Tuesday night.

Wolves took the lead after 24 minutes. Emmanuel Agbadou scored with help from Jorgen Strand Larsen.

However, that lead lasted only three minutes. Nketiah curled a shot into the bottom corner to equalize. Romain Esse assisted him on the play.

Five minutes later, Nketiah scored again. He finished a great combination involving Daniel Munoz and Ismaila Sarr from close range.

In the second half, Ben Chilwell scored from a free kick. His goal was deflected by a Wolves player, making it 3-1 in the 50th minute.

Strand Larsen then pulled one back for Wolves. Eberechi Eze came off the bench to score Palace's fourth goal, sealing the win.

With this brace against Wolves, Nketiah now has three goals and one assist. He achieved this in nine league starts since joining from Arsenal.
