Newcastle achieved superb calm on Friday thanks to their victory over Wolves in the match that opened the 32nd day of the Premier League (1-0). The ‘magpies’ decided the match thanks to a penalty goal scored by Chris Wood, allowing the team led by Eddie Howe to be 14th in the table, 10 points from the relegation zone. The Wolves are 8th and this defeat is a step backwards in their aspirations to qualify for a Eurotournament.
Chris Wood himself disallowed the goal in the first half for offside in the 23rd minute, after the referee consulted with the VAR, with almost the only shot between three sticks during that time by both teams. Because of this situation, the first half ended without a goal at Saint James’ Park.
Newcastle were able to judge the match in the second half. It was in the 72nd minute when José Sá knocked down Wolves goalkeeper Chris Wood, who didn’t make a mistake in his throw. An important goal for Eddie Howe’s staff was to take farther distance from the relegation zone.
Allan Saint-Maximin shot high on a very clear opportunity. Bruno Guimaraes, who put up a good performance, created some good chances and retired due to the Saint ’James Park crowd, while the Wolves were pushed hard along to find at least one point.
Bruno Lage, coach of the Wolves, made the young Chem Campbell debut in the Premier, 19 years old and who came to 78 ‘in the Trincao area, on loan from Barcelona and who was unsuccessful. Pedro Neto also entered in the 78th minute, in this case by Hee-Chan Hwang. Netro made some chances, but Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka was unstoppable.
