And they were rewarded for their pressure in the 11th minute when Zaha capitalized on a defensive error to fire Palace ahead.
Wolves continued to push for an equalizer, but they fell further behind just before the half-hour mark when Ayew headed home Zaha's cross.
However, Wolves refused to lie down and pulled a goal back nine minutes into the second half when Silva headed home from close range.
The home side continued to press for an equalizer, and they were eventually rewarded in the 76th minute when Jimenez netted from the spot after Zaha had brought down Rayan Ait-Nouri in the area.
