Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Re-live all the action from Molineux Stadium
Newcastle United fought back from a halftime deficit with two long-range strikes in the space of five minutes to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at Molineux on Sunday and move into third place in the Premier League.
Fabian Schar’s speculative effort took a deflection to draw Newcastle level after Wolves captain Mario Lemina’s 36th-minute goal had put the hosts ahead at the break as they chased a first league success of the season.
But while there might have been an element of fortune about Schar’s 75th-minute goal, there was no luck involved as Harvey Barnes thrashed home a spectacular winner five minutes later.
Both efforts came from outside the penalty area and dramatically turned around the outcome after struggling Wolves had dominated most of the encounter.

From a half-cleared Newcastle set-piece, Tonali feigns shooting to tee up Murphy, but his wide pass to Trippier is stopped in its tracks after the substitute is caught offside!

SAVED!!!! Cunha latches onto a long ball and runs around the outside of Hall before letting fly in the box. Pope makes himself big, and it's a good job too as Cunha's powerful shot hits his outstretched arm and is parried away!

BLOCKED!!! Newcaslte quickly switch the ball from right to left and Barnes skins Semedo on his way into the box. He tries a shot from the tightest of angles, but Mosquera's there to make the block for Wolves!!

Murphy floats a ball into the box from the Newcastle free-kick, but Burn's looping header to meet it is off-target and lands on top of Johnstone's net.
