# Wolves: Tim Spiers wowed by Romain Saiss moment

**Tim Spiers has been left wowed by a silver lining moment from Romain Saiss as Wolves lost 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace in the Premier League this afternoon.**

### The Lowdown: Disappointing

Ultimately, the result is what matters most, and it was disappointing afternoon for the Midlands club to drop all three points at Molineux against a team below them in the table.

They had more possession, but the same amount of shots as the Eagles, with the away side recording more on target ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/crystal-palace-wolverhampton/dsh)), as Bruno Lage’s side’s lack of goal threat came back to bite them once more.

### The Latest: Saiss moment

Even though they lost, it is nice to appreciate the good moments from Lage’s men, and even The Athletic’s [Spiers](https://twitter.com/TimSpiers/status/1500143481515302927) was blown away by what Saiss did midway through the second half:

*“Saiss, facing his own keeper with two Palace players for company….oh he just sends Olise to Asda with a filthy swivel then lays it to Neves.*

*“Best moment of the match by a distance.”*

### The Verdict: Bright spark

Saiss was one of the few bright sparks for a Wanderers side that simply did not do enough to win the match.

The Morocco international won seven of his duels in total, the third-most out of any of his teammates, while he also made a team-high three interceptions, and ranked joint-top with his two clearances ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/crystal-palace-wolverhampton/dsh)).

His skill against Michael Olise shows how comfortable he is at playing out from the back, and WWFC will need him on top form if they are going to make a late push for the European places.
