Crystal Palace broke off all the FA Cup final hangovers to keep their front half hopes as Eddie Nketiah doubled in a 4-2 win over Wolves.
Oliver Glasner calmed down most of his Wembley heroes, but faced the Wolves with a full range of changes after a back-to-back defeat.
Ultimately, the Eagles' marginal players, especially Nketiah, whose value proves their worth and trails Fulham by 10th point in the game - and sets club-record Premier League points in the process.
Before early fear, though. Jorgen Strand Larsen scored a corner kick to Emmanuel Agbadou, his first goal since his first goal and a lead of less than three minutes.
Nketiah and Romain Esse are the first starting points since Millwall's January move, connecting the left side nicely with the former on the left, then opening the shot space to bury the ball into a distant corner.
It was a real calm finish for a player who lacked a few minutes and confidence in South London this season, and his second was the goal of the real striker.
Daniel Munoz’s clever film unleashes Ismaila Sarr, and Nketiah’s back post run is exactly what it takes to spin his low cross and complete the turnaround and finish his season in five minutes in the first half.
Ben Chilwell scored a very deflecting free kick in his first goal in more than two years after halftime, and then Strand Larsen took the Wolves' hope from a corner - they had only three goals before the game.
One of the six changes to Glasner's FA Cup victory was the send-out of Joel Ward and Selhurst Park. The 35-year-old was obviously emotional and bent his knees in the center circle when he was replaced in his last game 12 years later and made 363 appearances in South London.
One of the dropouts still has time to play because FA Cup final champion Eberechi Eze has the final decision to beat the victory.
A late palace counter, with wolves piled up with bodies, arrived at the midfielder, whose wear-out efforts put the cherries on the famous week's cake of Crystal Palace - which might have been better.
