Wolves 0–2 Crystal Palace: Daichi Kamada Shines on Return, Eagles Keep Third Straight Clean Sheet
Crystal Palace returned to Premier League action after the international break with a solid 2–0 away win over bottom-place Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Japan international Daichi Kamada, starting in a double-pivot role, played until the 81st minute and helped the Eagles secure their third consecutive clean sheet and first win in two matches.
Kamada active early in midfield role
Kamada looked sharp from the start, operating as one of the two central midfielders.
In the 20th minute, he nearly opened the scoring: a loose ball fell to him on the right side of the box, and his low shot—similar to his left-footed goal for Japan against Bolivia—was kept out by a strong save from the Wolves goalkeeper.
Throughout the first half, Kamada linked play well, popping up in key defensive transitions and switching play into wide areas to trigger Palace attacks.
The match remained scoreless at halftime.
Palace break the deadlock through set-piece pressure
The breakthrough came in the 63rd minute.
Kamada restarted a short corner, and the sequence ended with Adam Wharton’s left-footed strike, which deflected into a dangerous area.
Right-back Daniel Muñoz reacted quickest and smashed the loose ball into the net to give Palace a deserved 1–0 lead.
Kamada sparks second goal with high press
Only six minutes later, Palace doubled their advantage.
Kamada blocked a Wolves clearance high up the pitch, and the loose ball rolled perfectly into space for Yeremy Pino, who finished the short counterattack with precision to make it 2–0.
Comfortable finish as Palace take all three points
With Palace two goals up, Kamada was subbed off in the 81st minute to a warm reception from the away supporters.
The Eagles held firm for the remainder of the match, closing out a 2–0 win and handing the struggling Wolves another defeat.
Crystal Palace now move back on track with a clean, professional performance and positive contributions across the pitch—highlighted by Kamada’s sharp display in midfield.

“Social Media Reactions”
Crystal Palace Fans
“Pinoooo is here, lads!!”
Japan fans be like: “Yep, first goal from a corner, second from Kamada winning the ball. Business as usual.”
“Pino with a banger — lad woke up choosing violence.”
“Kamada might secretly be the pre-assist king of Europe.”
“Wharton and Guehi absolutely owned the pitch. Pino’s first, Muñoz’s goal… Palace looked like Prime Barcelona for a minute.”
“Fair enough, today really belonged to Wharton and Guehi.”
“Funny enough, Lacroix somehow gets an assist for that messy VAR chaos. Football gods work in mysterious ways.”
“Kamada did his job, tidy as always. Shame his shot didn’t go in.”
“Guehi is just ridiculous. No wonder every big club is circling like sharks.”
“Winter move? Summer move? Either way, Liverpool are apparently the only ones bidding now… which probably scares him more than Wolves do.”
“He said he wants to go abroad in the summer — Real and Bayern rumors starting their annual migration already.”
“Temporary 4th place. Meanwhile Liverpool are busy auditioning for a comedy show.”
“Staying 4th won’t be easy — three teams sitting at 18 points breathing down our necks. Classic Palace stress season.”
“This version of Crystal Palace is… actually fun? What timeline is this?”
“Wharton’s a monster. Academy should just print money at this point.”
Japan fans: “Kamada was pushing high early on but couldn’t quite get the final touch. Rare to see him charging into the box on corners though.”
“Still, starting for the 4th-place Premier League side… not bad at all.”
