Crystal Palace's Joachim Andersen Scores Spectacular Own Goal Against Wolves /

Joachim Andersen scored a spectacular own goal to give Wolves an early lead over Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.

The goal came in the third minute when Andersen deflected a Ruben Neves corner kick onto the underside of the crossbar before the ball bounced over the line.

The delivery from Neves had evaded three Wolves players at the near post before striking the knee of Andersen, who was facing his own goal.

Palace keeper Sam Johnstone had no time to react as the ball had bounced off Andersen at great speed.

This was Andersen's fourth own goal in the Premier League.

Wolves went on to win 2-0, with Neves converting a late penalty following a foul by Johnstone on Pedro Neto.
