18:32
After a dramatic conclusion, the first half of this absorbing Premier League contest comes to an end with Newcastle United leading 2-1. While Wilson was sharp enough to capitalise on Sa's mistake to open the scoring, the visitors barely merited their advantage before Lemina equalised, and a late lapse then saw Wolves fall behind once again. Hwang conceded a penalty on the stroke of half-time, and Wilson stepped up to do what he does best. Newcastle then survived a late VAR check for a possible spot-kick - it's been all-action at Molineux!

HALF-TIME: WOLVES 1-2 NEWCASTLE UNITED

18:28
NO PENALTY! Following a relatively brief review, the VAR decides no penalty should be awarded to Wolves: apparently the ball did not strike the hand of Bruno Guimaraes. It's a let-off for Newcastle!

18:27
PENALTY FOR WOLVES? After Pope comes haring out of his box, Cunha lofts the ball over Bruno Guimaraes in the area, and it seems it may have brushed the Newcastle player's hand! The VAR will check!

18:19
PENALTY FOR NEWCASTLE! Successive corners from the left both fail to reap immediate rewards for Newcastle, but following the second, Schar topples over in the box after Hwang catches his heel! The referee doesn't hesitate - he points to the spot!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
18:16
Having taken a loose touch just outside his own area, Dawson is relieved to earn a free-kick when Bruno Guimaraes bundles him over in the act of trying to steal possession.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
18:15
Again to the fore, deep in Wolves territory, Bruno Guimaraes opens up a slither of space by driving across the edge of the box, then the Brazil international's shot is blocked behind for a corner.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
18:13
Set-piece specialist Trippier sends over a corner from the right, but somehow it evades everyone in a packed penalty area and skips away.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
18:12
Newcastle are now pushing forward in search of a second goal. They have had a lot of the ball, but Wolves are level on merit - they've counter-attacked well.

18:08
Assist Pedro Lomba Neto

18:08
SHARP STOP! Semedo once more links up with Neto on the right, and the latter cuts onto his favoured left foot and then stings Pope's palms with a rasping drive! That'll be a corner for Wolves.

Goal Mario René Junior Lemina

18:06
Newcastle are still having most of the ball, but Wolves don't particularly mind that. The home side have been caught out on the one occasion they've lapsed but deserve to be at least level in this game.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
18:03
Just outside the Wolves box, Longstaff receives the ball from Bruno Guimaraes and drives a powerful shot straight at goal. Dawson dives in and makes an important block at close range.

18:02
SAVE! Driving forward down the left, Cunha gets as far as Newcastle's area then lets fly with a firmly hit cross-shot; Pope dives left to tip it behind for a corner, although it was perhaps going wide anyway.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
18:01
After sensing a chance to dispossess his opponent in the penalty area, Semedo fells Burn and concedes a free-kick. The Newcastle defender just about got away with that - Wolves are faring well down their right flank.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:57
Once again, Semedo and Neto comnbine down the right, but the latter's cross towards Hwang in the area is cut out by Schar's header.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:57
Wilson had been averaging a goal every 66 minutes in the Premier League before today's game (five in 330 minutes), so that opener will further improve such a superb strike rate. He was in the right place at the right time!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:53
While Newcastle have had 66 per cent possession over the opening 20 minutes, Wolves have attempted twice as many shots as their visitors. They are quite happy to sit tight and then strike on the counter.

Goal Callum Eddie Graham Wilson

17:52
This time Schar stops Neto's right-wing run in its tracks with a timely interception, but Newcastle then lose the ball and allow Cunha to test Pope with a mishit shot from 18 yards. It's a straightforward save for the goalkeeper.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:50
Gordon does well to ride a challenge and then almost makes his way to the left byline, but Semedo covers across; then, Wolves snuff out the danger following Newcastle's short-corner routine.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:48
Remarkably, six of Newcastle's eight previous Premier League away games against Wolves have ended in a 1-1 draw, and it would be fair to expect both teams to score again today, based on the early evidence.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:45
Lemina is brought down by Bruno Guimaraes in midfield, winning his team a free-kick. It is set to be quite a battle between the pair today - both boast a good engine.

17:44
Wolves counter: scuffing an attempt from outside the area, Traore sees his shot drift far wide of the left-hand post.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:42
Newcastle enjoy their first prolonged period of build-up play, following a frentic end-to-end start. It's been typical Premier League fare so far.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:40
CLOSE! WIth Dawson continuing to back off, Longstaff is invited forward and reaches the right side of the area, from where he zips a low shot across goal and sends Sa scrambling - it just misses the left-hand post!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:38
Following a second successive corner from the left, the ball eventually breaks to Ait Nouri 20 yards out from goal, but he is off balance when sending his shot spiralling well over the crossbar.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:38
It's been a pleasingly open start to this game, and Wolves earn their first corner-kick on the left, following Burn's clearance.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:36
A typically teasing cross from the right by Trippier meets Gordon's header just inside the box, but the latter's header is skewed well off-target and is ultimately cleared away by the Wolves defence.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:34
Spotting a slight gap in Newcastle's defence Neto seizes a loose ball and drives to the right byline, beating both Burn and Schar with ease, but a heavy touch then sees the chance evaporate as quickly as it arose.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:32
Clad in green and white, Newcastle United kick off, and we are under way at Molineux!

After Alexander Isak was withdrawn against former club Dortmund in midweek and is now sidelined by a groin problem, Wilson returns to lead Newcastle's front line today; Jacob Murphy also sustained an injury on Wednesday and misses out too. Harvey Barnes and Sven Botman are still unavailable, while Sandro Tonali has started a 10-month ban for illegal betting.

17:06
Thanks to a 4-0 defeat of Crystal Palace last week, Newcastle United have now won four of their last five Premier League fixtures, keeping a clean sheet in the course of each victory. While that run has helped the Magpies into the top six, they suffered a setback in midweek when losing to Borussia Dortmund on home turf - their first Champions League defeat for over 20 years. A 1-0 reverse to the Bundesliga club also ended Newcastle's eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions and a five-game winning streak at St James' Park.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
17:06
By seeing off 10-man Bournemouth last week, Wolves extended their Premier League unbeaten run to four matches - the Midlands club's longest streak without defeat since January 2022. As a result, Gary O'Neil's men have moved well clear of the relegation zone and into mid-table. However, Wolves have taken only four points from a possible 12 at Molineux before today's game, in which they meet a club they have beaten just twice in 16 Premier League meetings.
