Ghanaian duo, Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp were instrumental in Crystal Palace’s pre-season victory over fellow Premier League team, Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The two teams faced off at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in the USA as they prepared for the upcoming season.
Schlupp opened the scoring for the Eagles, finding the back of the net in the 35th minute.
Ayew, who came on in the second half, doubled the lead just four minutes after the break with a precise finish.

Wolves managed to pull one back in stoppage time through Santiago Bueno, but Asher Agbinone quickly restored Palace’s two-goal advantage, securing the win.
Schlupp played the entire match, while Ayew, a second-half substitute, impressed with his performance.
Despite interest from Leicester City, Ayew is focused on making an impact under manager Oliver Glasner in the upcoming season.
