Adama Traore broke the deadlock, but Vieira's boys came from behind to win

This was one All-African night in the English Premier League as not less than three players of African roots demonstrated some impeccable skill in the pulsating clash between the Eagles and the Wolves.

In the end, Crystal Palace came from behind to top Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 and continue their incredible journey directed by boss Patrick Vieira.

Although it didn't seem like the former Arsenal midfielder would have many reasons to smile after robust Wolves striker of Malian descent Adama Traore nailed the opener around the half-hour mark following a remarkable build-up.

However, the home team bounced back almost straight as the sides returned from the locker rooms thanks to charming Eberechi Eze's header.

When it comes to Palace, it's an ordinary thing to see Wilfried Zaha making his presence visible in the opposite box, which he repeated in the Wolves tie, too.

The Ivorian forward placed it in the net for a total comeback and a deserved win that launched the Eagles to tenth place in the table.
