CRYSTAL PALACE and Wolves both had a point to prove in Saturday’s second half, the first having qualified as a serious contender for the worst 45 minutes of Premier League football this season so far. 

And it was the home side that rose to the challenge, as Palace put in a second-half performance that saw them run out deserved 2-0 winners in a feisty affair at Selhurst Park that was assisted by two VAR decisions.
