Newcastle United came from behind to beat Wolves 2-1 in the Premier League at Molineux on Sunday - here are the player ratings from the match.
Eddie Howe made three changes from the side that beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 last time out before the international break with Fabian Schar returning from suspension and Emil Krafth dropping to the bench with Jacob Murphy and Lewis Hall also coming back into the side in place of Harvey Barnes and Lloyd Kelly.
Joe Willock also returned to the bench after missing the win over Spurs due to a thigh issue.
Newcastle hadn’t won at Wolves in the Premier League since 2011 and after a decent start to the game by the visitors, it was the hosts that took the lead as Mario Lemina finished off a sweeping attacking move to turn in Jorgen Strand Larsen’s low cross.
That gave Wolves a 1-0 half-time lead as Newcastle looked to come from behind away from home in the second half.
Howe made three changes at the break with Harvey Barnes, Sandro Tonali and Joe Willock coming on for Alexander Isak, Sean Longstaff and Joelinton.
Newcastle drew level in the closing stages with Schar’s effort from distance deflecting into the top left corner of the goal to set up an exciting end to the match at Molineux. And Newcastle were the ones to capitalise with Barnes cutting inside from the left and curling the ball into the top right corner to make it 2-1 to the visitors.
Wolves pushed for an equaliser but weren’t able to find it as Newcastle moved up to third in the Premier League table with 10 points from their opening four games.
Here are the Newcastle United player ratings from the match...
9. Jacob Murphy - 6
Saw an edge-of-the-box effort tipped over the bar by Sam Johnstone. Got into some good areas without seriously threatening. Booked. | Getty Images
10. Anthony Gordon - 6
Had a great chance to slip Alexander Isak through but couldn't quite pick him out under pressure. Almost scored a goal of the season contender moments later as he danced past several Wolves players before being agonisingly denied by the post. Moved into a central role in the second half following Isak's withdrawal. | AFP via Getty Images
11. Alexander Isak - 5
Slipped a smart ball through to release Jacob Murphy early on. Had another chance to do it with Gordon but saw the pass intercepted. In and out of the game before being taken off at half-time. | AFP via Getty Images
12. Sandro Tonali - 7
On for Longstaff 46: Calls for the Italian to start the game were possibly justified given his impressive substitute showing. Had a great chance to put the game to bed in the closing stages but was denied by the goalkeeper. | Getty Images
