Newcastle United FC 3 - 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers FC
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
17:00
Newcastle take all three points with a superb three-goal showing at St. James’ Park, beating Wolves comprehensively 3-0. Isak put the hosts ahead with an opportunistic header following Guimaraes’ blocked shot, and Gordon would double their advantage 19 minutes later with a tap-in finish after Sa failed to claim the ball despite coming off his line. Without many senior attacking options from the bench and forced into two changes at the half - including one to his goalkeeper - O’Neil was unable to change the game in the second half, which allowed the Magpies to grow in confidence and possession. Howe’s side looked to control the remainder of the game and secure the clean sheet by forcing their opponents to chase, but Livramento’s incredible, mazey goal would add an unexpected third in injury time and seal the result. A first Premier League defeat since February 10 sees Wolves drop into 10th place ahead of a meeting with Fulham next Sunday, while seventh-placed Newcastle travel to play Chelsea in nine days. That concludes our commentary of the Premier League fixture between Newcastle United and Wolves- we hope you’ve enjoyed it!

Newcastle have lost just one of their eight Premier League home games against Wolves (four wins and three draws), a 1-2 defeat in December 2018 under Rafa Benitez.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:50
Sarabia’s volley across the face of goal is whacked away by Schar, but only as far as Kilman, 20 yards from goal. The Wolves captain looks for the spectacular finish and strikes the ball with his left foot before it can bounce, but he sends his well-timed hit high and wide of the target.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:48
Ait Nouri is first called for a foul on Livramento on the touchline, before venting his frustration in the direction of the referee. It’s a yellow card for the Wolves wing-back; the first booking of the match.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:48
Barnes looks to get forward down the left wing and challenge the defender but thinking twice, the substitute turns around and plays a simple pass back down the wing for Miley. With sights set on the three points and the clean sheet, it’s a prudent decision.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:43
Substitution Jean-Ricner Bellegarde Tawanda Blessing Chirewa

16:43
Quick thinking from Bentley prevents a third Newcastle goal, with Guimaraes’ pass over the top finding the run of Almiron. After taking a touch to set himself, the substitute winger fails to get a shot away from an acute angle, with the goalkeeper immediately coming forward to close down the space.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:40
Guimaraes’ inswinging corner from the left finds Burn at the near post, whose flick-on causes a scramble inside the six-yard box. Unable to turn it home, Dawson manages to eventually hit it clear and force Newcastle to come forward again from the back.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:37
Newcastle have conceded 23 goals in their last eight Premier League games, as many as they had in their previous 20. Indeed, only Brentford (24) have shipped more goals than the Magpies in the competition since Christmas.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:37
DUBRAVKA TO THE RESCUE! Semedo curls an inch-perfect cross into the penalty area for Bellegarde, whose header towards the corner is pounced upon by the goalkeeper, who somehow manages to make a clean, two-handed grab and prevent a rebound!
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:37
Schar hoists a lovely ball over the top of the defence from inside his own half for Miley, who is beaten to the pass at the edge of the 18-yard box by Bentley, who came a long way off his line to make the grab.

GREAT STOP! Ait Nouri picks out a lovely cross to the far post for Sarabia, who meets it with a side-footed volley from an acute angle. Already heading down to the turf, Dubravka somehow manages to keep himself upright and parry it behind!
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:29
Murphy stands a cross up towards the penalty spot that Kilman somehow manages to miss despite his leap, but Dawson is quick to follow up and volley the danger away despite the lurking Isak.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:28
Bellegarde leans back and curls a strike towards goal that fails to dip as it sails high above the crossbar. The forward claims a corner-kick as he heads over towards the flag but the referee spots it correctly, pointing to the 18-yard box for a goal-kick.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:26
Kilman sends a cross into the penalty area looking for the leap of Mario Lemina but it proves an easy catch for Dubravka, on the edge of his six-yard box.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:25
Semedo mistimes his step and brings Gordon down ahead of the technical areas. It’s a free-kick for Newcastle near the halfway line, which they use to play backwards into defence.

16:19
OFF THE LINE! Gordon picks up possession inside the penalty area and spots the overlapping run of Burn, playing a lovely backheel layoff into the path of the right-back. He chips a cross towards the penalty spot for the diving Willock, whose headed effort is cleared off the line by Toti!
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:19
Sarabia is averaging a goal involvement every 122 minutes in the Premier League this season (three goals, six assists in 1096 minutes). Of all players to play 500 or more minutes in a single campaign for Wolves, only Steven Fletcher has a better average across a campaign (one every 116 minutes in 2010-11).
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:17
Play restarts through a Dubravka goal-kick, with Trippier heading directly into the tunnel towards the medical room at St. James’ Park, and Burn the new Newcastle captain.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:14
Trippier has limped off and remains deep in conversation with a member of the Newcastle medical staff. It first appeared as though the England international would be able to retake his place, but that won’t be the case as Livramento comes on in his stead.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:14
Worrying signs for Newcastle, as Trippier has immediately gone down after a tussle with Ait Nouri, signalling to the bench he is in need of treatment.The medical staff has come onto the pitch to take a look at the captain, while Howe sparks his bench into life.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:12
The next goal will be key in this match, as it could either spark Wolves into a potential comeback, or seal the game for Newcastle, who would be three ahead. Now without Neto either, it’s looking like a difficult task for the visitors to once again make it a contest; though it would be the perfect time for Fraser to find his first Premier League goal.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:09
Wolves get the match restarted from the kick-off!

15:50
Despite the need to pull two goals back, O’Neil doesn’t have many options to call upon from his bench - with the injury to Hwang severely limiting his attacking choices. 20-year old Chirewa could provide a pacey option on the wing in place of Bellegarde, while a change at wing-back and the introduction of Hugo Bueno could help the visitors get higher up the pitch as legs tire in the second half. Newcastle will be looking to keep play in front of them and preserve the win and clean sheet, with the experience of Lascelles and the counter-attacking prowess of Almiron likely to be called upon by Howe after the restart.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:50
A wet and windy first half at St. James’ Park comes to a close with Newcastle ahead by two goals to nil, thanks to opportunistic finishes from Isak and Gordon 19 minutes apart. Wolves started the match with intent, with Sarabia and Neto looking to pull the strings for the visitors but the resolute pairing of Schar and Botman were able to keep everything in front of them and ward off the early pressure. Despite seeing much less possession in the first period (43 per cent), Howe’s team were extremely clinical with their chances, with two counter-attacks leading to close-range finishes for Isak and Gordon that gave Sa absolutely no chance. Despite looking impressive on the ball, the visitors were unable to test Dubravka in the opening 45 minutes, with their few half-chances flying either wide or high of the crossbar.

HALF-TIME: NEWCASTLE UNITED 2-0 WOLVES.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:50
Neto looks to be limping significantly after an aerial duel with Schar, in which the defender unwittingly ran his studs down the leg of the winger. It’s a painful one, but down two goals, his coach will be hoping he’ll be able to continue.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:48
The fourth official indicates three minutes will be added to the end of the half for stoppages.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:45
Semedo gets the better of Gordon this time, squeezing himself between the player and the ball before winning a free-kick right beside his own corner-flag.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:44
Neto looks to cut inside and dispatch a shot but the Newcastle defence is well aware of the forward’s intentions, with both Burn and Botman combining to close down the space before forcing an errant pass across the pitch for Doyle, which is intercepted by Murphy.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:42
The ball is popped over the top of the defence for Neto, who steps towards the byline before chipping the ball across the face of goal to the far post for Bellegarde. The forward gets in behind Burn and makes contact with his header but he sends it up and over the crossbar before an offside call in the build-up gives Newcastle a chance to clear their lines.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:38
The 17 previous Premier League meetings between Newcastle and Wolves have seen both sides score 16 times, with the only clean sheet in this fixture in the competition coming via the Magpies’ 1-0 win in April 2022.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:37
Trippier and Gordon work a short-corner routine that gets Murphy into a pocket of space 30 yards from goal but the winger’s strike from distance flies harmlessly over Sa’s crossbar.

15:35
Goal Anthony Michael Gordon

15:34
Dawson plays a risky pass through the middle of the pitch from inside his own penalty area but Neto is upended by Willock, giving Wolves a chance to regroup at a position higher up the field.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:32
Murphy cuts inside from the left and curls a tame shot towards goal that’s easily caught by Sa.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:30
Neto plays a corner short to Sarabia, whose delivery towards the penalty spot from a deep position on the right wing is easily beaten away by Longstaff.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:30
Toti launches a pass deep into Newcastle’s half for Neto but the diminutive forward is always less likely to win an aerial duel against the imposing Burn, who wins the battle and puts it out of play to give the rest of his team time to retreat.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:27
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.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:24
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!
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:22
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
15:22
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.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:18
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 United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:16
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!
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:16
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.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:13
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
15:11
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.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:10
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.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:09
Sarabia receives the ball on the turn just outside the penalty area before stepping past Schar and dispatching a left-footed shot that takes a deflection on its way behind for a corner.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:07
Neto goes on a brilliantly incisive run through the heart of Newcastle’s midfield, drawing as many as three defenders towards him as he breaks into the penalty area. With only Dubravka to beat, the forward is unable to get the ball out from underneath his feet, allowing Schar to put in a last-ditch sliding challenge that wins possession back for the hosts.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:04
Gordon cuts inside from the left after receiving a pass from Willock and teases a cross to the far post for Murphy, who is beaten in the air by a leaping Ait Nouri.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:03
Newcastle get the match underway from the kick-off!
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:49
Wolves make two changes to the side that beat Sheffield United 1-0 on Sunday, as Doyle replaces the uninvolved Joao Gomes in midfield, and Bellegarde gets his eighth start of the campaign at striker, with Hwang Hee-Chan not featuring due to a hamstring injury.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:49
Newcastle make four alterations to the XI that lost 4-1 to Arsenal seven days ago. Dubravka has returned to fitness and replaces Karius between the posts, while Burn is preferred to Livramento at right-back. Miley is given a rest as Willock takes over in central midfield and on the right wing, Murphy is picked ahead of Almiron.

With 15 minutes to go before kick-off, let’s take a look at how the two sides are lining up - starting with our hosts!
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:33
In-form Wolves look to extend their winning run in the league to three-consecutive games, beating both Tottenham and Sheffield United on back-to-back weekends. Ninth in the table - a point behind Brighton in seventh - Gary O’Neil’s team are sixth in the form table since the turn of the year with only the current top three as well as Manchester United and Aston Villa amassing more points in that period.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:33
Winless in their last two Premier League fixtures, Newcastle United welcome Wolves to St. James’ Park in search of their first home victory of 2024. Buoyed by their midweek penalty shoot-out victory over Blackburn in the FA Cup, Eddie Howe’s side can jump their opponents today with a victory and could finish the weekend as high as seventh if other results around the league go their way.
