The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
Mario Lemina and Nelson Semedo both went straight back into the Wolves side as Gary O’Neil made two changes for the visit of Newcastle. Matt Doherty and Joao Gomes dropped to the bench as Lemina and Semedo came back from suspension.
Callum Wilson replaced the injured Alexander Isak in the only change to the Newcastle side that started Wednesday’s 1-0 Champions League defeat at home to Borussia Dortmund. There was no Sandro Tonali in the squad as the Italy midfielder begins a 10-month ban for betting offences.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
After an archetypal Premier League clash, the points are shared at Molineux, where Wolves twice fought back to take a point against Newcastle United. With a first-half brace - the second coming from the penalty spot - Wilson took his tally to 19 top-flight goals in 2023, only Erling Haaland (24) has more; scorer of his team's second equaliser, Hwang became just the third Wolves player to both concede a penalty and score in the same Premier League match. Howe's men march on into November, when a packed schedule does not relent, as the Magpies next meet Manchester United in the EFL Cup, then Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund. Wolves, meanwhile, must contemplate next week's visit to Sheffield United without their chief creator Neto, who came off injured after laying on a seventh goal of the season. That's all from Wolverhampton today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

Wolves seem to have stemmed the green-and-white tide for now, and they manage to shuffle a few yards further up the pitch. It's been their second half in many respects, but that was a sustained spell of pressure they needed to withstand.
