Experts praised Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha after their comeback win against Wolves.
The Eagles saw themselves chasing a goal after a header from Adama Traore in the first half before two goals after the break from Ebere Eze and Zaha bagged all three points at Selhurst Park.
And at the end there was a lot of credit for Palace’s attacking trio, made up of Zaha, Eze and Michael Olise – who were described as ‘unstoppable at times’.

Speaking of their improvement after halftime, Ally McCoist said: ‘I thought the difference was clear in the second half. I didn’t think there was anything tactical, there was no tweak in the formation.
“It was just a willingness to run around more. Zaha, I thought that was absolutely excellent.
Alan Shearer agreed, saying: ‘When you look at those three players’ [Zaha, Olise, Eze]If they play with a lot of energy and move the ball quickly, they are very difficult to mark and pick up.
He continued: “We have always known that he… [Zaha] had the ability – it was just a change in attitude it took to hit those numbers. Now you see Vieira getting the best out of him and taking him from dribbler to goalscorer.”
All three players were involved in the goals on Tuesday evening. For their equalizer, Olise floated in a delicate cross that met Eze at the back post before Wilfired Zaha completed a fine team move with a thumping finish.

Clinton Morrison, who was also Amazon Prime Video Pundit, said: “Wilfried Zaha changed position from the sidelines and got into space and changed the game. No player wants Zaha to run at you and once he did, everything happened.”
“Olise gives the quality to go in all directions and once he hooked up to the fun one-two-touch game, sometimes it was unstoppable.”
“A lot of people misunderstand Zaha when they see him getting frustrated and thinking he has a bad attitude. It’s not that. He just has a great desire to win. ‘
Zaha, 29, has already scored five goals – and one assist – in the Premier League this year
While praise for the players is high now, it didn’t look like that would be the case at the start of the evening.
The Eagles were on a goal within half an hour when Traore came at the end of a beautiful cross from Hugo Bueno.
Next, Patrick Vieira’s squad travels to Goodison Park to extend Everton’s losing streak. Meanwhile, Wolves are up against Leicester and could potentially have a new manager on the day.
