Record signing Alexander Isak was handed a rare start as Newcastle attempted to revive their Premier League campaign against Wolves. The Sweden international was included as one of five changes to the team which lost 2-0 at Manchester City last weekend with he, Fabian Schar after concussion, Joe Willock, Jacob Murphy and Allan Saint-Maximin replacing Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles, the suspended Joelinton, Anthony Gordon and Miguel Almiron.
Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui made four changes as Joao Moutinho, Adama Traore, Daniel Podence and Raul Jimenez came in for Pablo Sarabia, Matheus Nunes, Pedro Neto and the injured Diego Costa.

We hope you've enjoyed our live coverage of Newcastle's win over Wolves. It's goodbye from us, and we'll see you next time!
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Newcastle's win takes them into the Premier League's top five, two points clear of Liverpool in sixth and four adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham! Howe's men have two games in hand on Spurs, and they remain in the fight for Champions League football! Wolves remain 13th, three points above the relegation zone ahead of huge fixtures against fellow strugglers Leeds United and Nottingham Forest.

It's full-time at St James' Park, and Newcastle end their five-game winless run! They took a deserved lead into the break after Isak's fine header, though Pope was fortunate not to concede a penalty and perhaps to avoid a red card following a challenge on Jimenez. Wolves improved after half-time and levelled through Hwang, but they invited intolerable pressure thereafter, and Almiron came off the bench to curl in the winner!

Semedo raids forward to win a corner, which leads to a scramble in Newcastle's area. The Magpies manage to clear their lines, and that should be that!
