The English striker’s first shot was caught by Toti Gomes but he took advantage of the rebound to score with a scissor kick with his back to the goal.
Matheus Cunha and Pedro Neto led the Wolves’ reaction, but they bumped into Nick Pope. The Newcastle goalkeeper prevented the Brazilian from scoring a great goal after a great individual game in which he avoided several rivals in a race and finished with a cross kick.
He is a midfielder, Mario Lemina, who equalized with a header from a corner after Pope was left in the middle (36′). The visiting goalkeeper, so confident throughout the game, faltered in this set.
