Neil Warnock is feeling the pinch of a striker shortage after Wolves condemned Palace to a third successive away defeat.

Eagles boss Warnock suffered another case of travel sickness after Andy Keogh's winner kept Wolves on top of the Championship.

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake gifted the home side a dream start with the opening goal after just 19 seconds before Paul Ifill pounced for a deserved Palace equaliser. But Republic of Ireland international Keogh headed in from close range to inch Wolves towards their third successive home win.

Warnock is clearly missing strikers Alan Lee, James Scowcroft and Calvin Andrew and is struggling to get lift-off on his season.

He said: "I can't have any complaints really because we've lost three strikers in six days to injury.

"They had a bright start but we regrouped well. They were better than us but you expect that with the start Wolves have had.

"I couldn't ask for any more from the players.

Overall I was quite pleased because we could have gone under big style after the start we had."

Palace battled back well after conceding the early goal and Wayne Hennessey displayed excellent reflexes to keep out Paul Ifill's close range effort. But Ifill did find the target in the 34th minute, capitalising on slack marking in the Wolves defence to pinch a deserved equaliser.

Alas Keogh's winner in the 59th minute settled the match handing Wolves their best start to a campaign since the 1962/63 season.
