Jordan Ayew scores first goal for Crystal Palace in win at Wolves
Jordan Ayew goal came with seven minutes to end the 90 minutes of regulation time, after he controlled a pass from Patrick van Aanholt and converted it from close range.
Before Luka Milivojevic put the game beyond the reach of the hosts deep into stoppage time by scoring from the spot kick, after Wilfried Zaha was brought down by Ryan Bennett.
Raul Jimenez registered Wolves' first meaningful attempt - firing over from distance - before Matt Doherty missed the best chance of the first half as he headed over when left in space from a corner.
Palace had an escape after the break as Doherty failed to connect with Ivan Cavaleiro's cross, having caught Aaron Wan Bissaka in possession, while at the other end Ayew failed to hit the target under pressure from Conor Coady.
But Crystal Palace's late show ensured they move six points clear of Southampton in 18th, while Wolves lost ground on Leicester.
