Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze continued his excellent debut season in the Premier League and added to Wolves' troubles with the only goal at Selhurst Park.

The £19.5m signing from QPR settled a poor game with a thumping finish, his third league goal since making the step up last summer.

Palace boss Roy Hodgson says Eze will only keep improving.

“I think he's a player who is going to improve all the time," he said in his post-match press conference. “We're not improving his technical ability, and hes got a good idea of what's happening in the game and where the next pass should be.

“Where he's improving is getting used to playing with players of a similar ability, and getting used to the intensity of the Premier League. One of those things from our perspective is that work rate to get into position and close people down.

“That's one of the things he's made major strides with, and I think that's because he's moved up a gear by playing in the Premier League."
