Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Bellegarde’s foul on Guimaraes gives Newcastle a free-kick in a dangerous, central position 25 yards from goal. Trippier is tasked with taking the set-piece but he sends his strike directly into the wall, which does its job and puts the ball for a throw.

JUST OVER! Sarabia’s inswinging corner finds the head of Dawson, who prods the ball on to Bellegarde. Knowing nothing of the delivery, the forward gets a touch to the flick-on, doing just enough to put it into Mario Lemina’s path. Rising higher than his marker, the midfielder makes great contact with the ball but puts his chance just high of the crossbar!

Gordon takes up a position wide on the left flank, giving Burn space to run into through the middle of the park. The winger picks out his team-mate with an incisive pass, allowing the full-back to take a touch to set himself before dragging his shot well wide of the far post from 20 yards out.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
It’s the first time in over three matches that Wolves find themselves behind in a Premier League fixture - since a 2-0 loss to Brentford on February 2. O’Neil’s side will have to show determination and character to pull themselves back level away from home - without the injured Hwang - who has 10 goals this year.

Neto scampers to the byline and looks to pick Bellegarde out with a centring pass towards the penalty spot but Botman is there to whack the ball back into Wolves’ half.

NEWCASTLE TAKE THE LEAD! 1-0! It’s a slightly fortuitous goal but the home supporters won’t care - with Isak giving Newcastle an early advantage! Gordon gets forward on a counter-attack after a long period of possession for Wolves, slipping the ball through for Guimaraes on the overlapping run. The midfielder hits his shot from close range which is deflected by Dawson, right into the path of Isak, who nods it home!

Semedo drives to the byline and chips a cross in towards the far post but Bellegarde is beaten in the air by Trippier, who temporarily clears the danger.

Ait Nouri spots the run of Bellegarde off the shoulder of Trippier and looks to play his team-mate in behind the opposition defence but the striker is unable to hold his run, failing to control the initial pass and prompting the referee to blow his whistle for offside.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Gordon looks for a one-two pass with Isak on the edge of the 18-yard box but the striker’s return isn’t as accurate as it needed to be, with Toti able to step forward and put it out for a throw-in.

The skies have opened up above St. James’ Park, with sheets of rain steadily flowing down onto the pitch. The goalkeepers will have to be assured in their handling of the ball in the conditions, while the slippery surface could lead to a more chaotic game for the outfield players.
