It was a strange afternoon at Selhurst Park. The victory wasn't surprising, which was surprising in itself. Patrick Vieira walked away with this second win on the bounce, and here are Alex Pewter's takeaways.
Second Half Fireworks
Either by design or with half-time adjustments, Patrick Vieira continues to see his team turn up the intensity as the second half starts. The first half seemed to be a muted affair, but Palace continued their streak of threatening more after the half-time break.
The novelty of seeing a Crystal Palace side in control of the ball and seemingly untroubled by the opposition hasn't worn off at all. Yet, a similar pattern is emerging of converting that first-half possession, 65% on this occasion, into meaningful shots on goal, as the team still only has one first-half goal this season.
The passing and movement to work the ball from one end of the pitch to the other is still a delight to watch, even if the final ball hasn't matched that standard. Marc Guéhi, on his way to his 82 passes for the match, was so comfortable at the back with or without the ball, it's still a wonder as to why Chelsea were happy to part ways.
The first half, whilst entertaining, seemed to drift by, with Rayan Aït-Nouri's attempts to buy a penalty in front of the Holmesdale arguably drawing the largest reaction from the home crowd in the first half.
Repeatedly Wolves players dramatically went to ground throughout the first half, possibly looking to stall play, adding to frustrations.
But that was all quickly forgotten.
With Wilfried Zaha and Odsonne Édouard now on opposite wings, both carried the ball superbly. Where Zaha looked hampered down the right, he was electric down the left. Suddenly with Zaha running at the Wolves defence, the crowd was alive in anticipation of a breakthrough.
Édouard continues to surprise playing as a converted winger, and his run down the right would create the opening. Gallagher's pass set him free in acres of space, and the Wolves defence didn't deal with his cross.
James McArthur picking up the second ball, ignored the cries of "shoot" from the crowd, as instead he calmly found Zaha with a clever through-ball to open the scoring capping off a spell of dominance.
Embracing that this team plays off momentum, Vieira has continued to use his substitutes to sustain the attack. Using Jeffrey Schlupp and Michael Olise to drive home the result again, the team kept looking for a third goal as the end of the game drew near.
Even if the team is leaving it to the final 45 minutes to close out games, it feels like the sky is the limit at the moment.
Conor F'ing Gallagher
You should never fall in love with a loan player, as the old adage goes. But whether it was scoring the second or repeatedly chasing down José Sá in goal, Conor Gallagher makes it difficult not to love him and his performances.
There is a danger that every match report becomes Gallagher centric, such is his form, but having taken a slight break in doing that after the Man City game, it is probably time to go over his skillset once again.
Many managers have been guilty of forcing players to adapt to formations rather than building the system around the player. That isn't the case at Crystal Palace this season. In an asymmetrical system, he has the space to move further forward and get into the area in possession, and his athleticism is used to lead the press.
Conor Gallagher's drive defensively and offensively flourishes in a midfield where both the star player and a by-product of the players around him simultaneously. James McArthur is an egoless player and a perfect person to facilitate Gallagher's energy.
Behind them both, Cheikhou Kouyaté feasted on the pressure the other midfielders maintained with a stellar defensive performance.
His goal to double the scoreline had an element of good fortune with a deflection but spoke to the confidence in how he is playing. Indeed, it feels like he has the Midas touch in front of goal at the moment.
Thought must go out to John Textor if he had any aspirations to fund Gallagher's permanent move to Crystal Palace next season. The price may have just doubled.
We Love VAR
It has been a long-standing position of FYP that VAR is the single most significant innovation in football since "On Me Shed Son" or the backpass rule.
That opinion was vindicated today, as two video reviews overturned both the disallowed goal for Wilfried Zaha and a penalty given to Wolves that was an obvious error on the part of Graham Scott and in no way a marginal call that Joel Ward got away with.
The process is clunky. There is no transparency for the fans in the stadium. Yet, as the last three decisions have all gone Palace's way, let's forget all about that for now.
The xG Battle
There was only ever one team in this match. The attacking highlights did gloss over how few shots managed to get away, given the talents of Raúl and Hwang Hee-chan this season.
Vicente Guaita kept his concentration levels up as he dealt with the one tricky effort, a low free-kick from João Moutinho.
Zaha and Gallagher took their goals well, but the damage could have been worse for Wolves.
Édouard will be desperate to add to his tally, having got a couple of reasonable efforts on target today. His ratio this season of 3 goals to 1.97 xG is still an impressive return, but much like the Spurs game, he will be an excellent weapon when he gets it right.
Next Up: International Break III
On the one hand, it would be nice to carry on this form immediately into the next game, but instead, Palace will have time to plan their next run of fixtures. The November to January stretch of games is gruelling and will be a genuine test of the team's newfound depth.
One of the day's biggest stories, somewhat swallowed up by the Wolves win, was the 90 minutes of U23 game time for Ebere Eze. Not that Palace need much help at the moment, but he must almost be a certainty to be on the bench for the Burnley fixture.
