Garth Crooks raves about Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles

The BBC Sports pundit has included him in his ‘Premier League team of the week’ column after Lascelles produced a solid performance for Newcastle United.

The Magpies skipper scored the opening goal with a powerful near-post header from Federico Fernandez’s cross in the 37th minute.

However, Wolves fought back to secure a point, thanks to Jonny, who volleyed home from six yards after goalkeeper Martin Dubravka had fumbled Matt Doherty’s cross into his path.

Newcastle ended the game with 10 men after Sean Longstaff was sent off late on for a high challenge on Ruben Neves.
