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.

WIDE!!! Lemina is sent racing into the final third by Gomes' pass, and the ball comes back to him after his pass to the right is blocked. The Wolves captain has more time than he realises inside the box, but can only drag his first-time shot well wide!

GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Wolves counter at speed to take the lead at Molineux!! From a Newcastle through, they turn the ball over and throw numbers forward as Strand Larsen sets off on a powerful run down the right. He crosses into the box and although Cunha leaves it, the captain Lemina is there to stroke the ball past Pope at the far post!!! 1-0 to the hosts, and that's certainly sparked this game into life!
