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.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United

Sheer persistence helps Cunha bundle his way to the left byline, and then his cut-back loops up off a defender. Semedo attacks it near the penalty spot, but is penalised for clattering Burn.

Gordon slips a perceptive pass through for Wilson down the left channel, but the latter delays too long and the chance eventually fizzles out. Newcastle have barely offered a threat since half-time, maybe Eddie Howe will turn to his absence-depleted subs bench?

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United

Having had a full week to prepare, Wolves are now showing that they have the fresher legs and minds in this game. They continue to push forward, as Newcastle perhaps tire a little after the exertions of Wednesday.

Ait Nouri picks up the ball on the left side of Newcastle's area after Neto swings it over from the right; however, his cross is then heavily deflected, allowing Pope to claim it unchallenged.

NO PENALTY! It doesn't take long to establish that Wilson hasn't handled the ball. For a third time, Wolves are disappointed by the VAR's penalty call.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United

PENALTY FOR WOLVES? From a dangerous Doyle free-kick on the left, the ball appears to brush Wilson's arm in the box. The referee doesn't spot it, but the VAR is having a check!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United

After being played in by Neto on the right side of the area, Semedo opts to shoot from an angle instead of finding one of several team-mates gathered in the box. It's a tame effort, which Pope claims comfortably.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United

Pouncing on a loose header by Dawson, Almiron jinks wide and then delivers a ball across the six-yard box, but no Newcastle player anticipates it, and it zips away to safety from Wolves' point of view.
