Wolverhampton Wanderers denied Newcastle United the chance to secure their third Premier League victory of the campaign on Sunday, coming from behind to leave St James’ Park with a point following a 1-1 draw.
Magpies skipper and centre-back Jamaal Lascelles had put the hosts ahead with a near-post header from Federico Fernandez’s cross, but Wolves equalized 17 minutes from time, with Jonny Otto volleying home from six yards after goalkeeper Martin Dubravka had fumbled Matt Doherty’s cross into his path.
Things got worse for Newcastle in the closing stages of the game after Sean Longstaff was shown his marching orders for a high challenge on Ruben Neves in the 82nd minute, and Doherty was very close to sealing a very late win for the visitors, but he could only head a good chance wide.
