Overview
- Wolves came from a goal down to beat Bristol City 2-1 on Wednesday when 19-year-old Newcastle loanee Sean Neave scored a late equaliser and an 89th-minute winner.
- Head coach Cesar Peixoto said the team prepared for the exact rebound chance with short video clips for the strikers and that substitutes delivered the impact needed to change the game.
- Captain Kieran Trippier supplied the set-piece that led to the winner when Ladislav Krejci nodded the ball into Neave’s path, highlighting veteran delivery and aerial presence.
- The victory extended Wolves’ unbeaten run to five matches and lifted them into the Championship’s automatic places, one point behind leaders Middlesbrough, while the squad must manage recovery in a busy schedule.
- Neave’s first Championship goals mark a personal breakthrough that could raise his profile at Newcastle, boost confidence across the squad and strengthen Peixoto’s case after earlier scrutiny.
