Newcastle Held 0-0 by Bottom-Club Wolves as Chance to Go Fifth Slips Away

Heavy possession yielded almost no threat for eighth-place Newcastle, whose first shot on target arrived in the 85th minute.

Overview

  • The result stretched Wolves' unbeaten run to five matches in all competitions, though they remain bottom and 14 points from safety.
  • Newcastle controlled about two-thirds of the ball but mustered only two late efforts on target and finished the day eighth instead of breaking into fifth.
  • José Sá preserved a point for Wolves with a late double save to deny Bruno Guimarães and Joelinton.
  • Newcastle’s away struggles continued, with just two Premier League victories on the road this season and renewed questions over their cutting edge.
  • Wolves manager Rob Edwards hailed a spirited, disciplined display, as 18-year-old Mateus Mané again caught the eye and tested Nick Pope in the first half.
