After pulling off an impressive comeback against the Wolves, Newcastle United moved to third place last Sunday during their Premier League match. If you missed last Sunday’s match, get a detailed view of the statistics in Bongdalu.

The Magpies’ victory led by coach Eddie Howe shows a lot about the English’s coach tactics. Meanwhile, the Wolves struggled to end their losing streak as they failed to maintain the lead against Newcastle after a strong start.

Lemina Scores First and Took Wolves To Lead in First Half

Wolverhampton Wanderers started the game strong with aggressive gameplay that tested Newcastle’s defense. The Wolves arrived at the Molineux Stadium determined to get that win and in the first 36 minutes, Mario Lemina finally scored that goal the Wolves needed.

Lemina’s quick counter-attack from Joao Gomes’ pass to Larsen caught him during the right moment in the right place to score a goal passing through Nick Pope. After that clean goal, the Wolves now lead the game with a 1-0 score.

The Wolves continued their persistence in getting another clean goal the entire first half shaking Newcastle’s defense. Strand Larsen took a low shot hoping to double their lead but ended up hitting the post. Despite the Wolves’ multiple chances of getting a goal, the first half ended with 1-0.

Newcastle Bounced Back During The Second Half

During the second half, Eddie Howe made Joe Willock and Harvey Barnes play giving Newcastle a breath of fresh air. After struggling in the first half, Barnes and Willock helped the Magpies’ take leverage in the game opening for chances to score.

Newcastle’s hard work paid off during the 75th minute of the match through Fabian Schar’s long-range shot. Wolves’ goalkeeper, Jose Sa mistakenly moved in a different direction after a slight deflection caused by Craig Dawson allowing Schar to get the ball to the net.

As Newcastle found their tempo, Wolves are starting to show signs of exhaustion. Five minutes after Schar’s first goal, Harvey Barnes found the perfect moment for a goal that made Newcastle take the lead with 2-1. Barnes got the ball through Willock from the left wing and took a shot for a curling goal on the net’s top corner. Jose Sa did not have a chance to block Barnes’ attempt leading to the Magpies’ intense comeback.

Newcastle Boosted Their Defense As Wolves Continued To Miss Chances

Wolverhampton was left in a dilemma wondering how they let that happen. After a strong start and the first goal, the Wolves failed to protect their lead and no scores after multiple attempts. Jorgen Strand Larsen is in woe for his missed chances which includes the attempt he made during the early of the second half.

The fire easily went out for the Wolves as their strong start softened leaving Newcastle more control in the field. Mistake after mistake in their defense and attacks, especially in goal attempts is a clear reason why the Magpies are now on the lead. Dawson’s failed deflection on Schar and Sa’s failure to stop Barnes definitely put the Wolves in a bad situation.

You wouldn’t want to miss a moment like this in a match which is why even on your busy days, you can tune in to Bongdalu and get updated with the intense action happening in the field in real time.

Despite the Wolves’ effort to get a close shot at leveling the score, Matheus Cunha’s close-range header fell short allowing Nick Pope to block the attempt effortlessly. The failed goal attempt added to the Wolves’ woes just before the match ended.

Gary O’Neil, Wolverhampton coach expressed his frustration clearly after the final whistle blew. They were leading and started with a strong aggressive play but ended up losing their third for the last five games with a draw. The Wolves are now a part of the bottom three in the league’s standing while Newcastle is in the top three.

If the Wolves want to continue their journey in the Premier League, they definitely have to work on their defense and attack lapses to climb a few notches and avoid getting eliminated. They still have an EFL Cup to attend to and improving gameplay and tactics in the field will benefit them in both tournaments.

Conclusion

Newcastle’s comeback victory against the Wolverhampton Wanderers last Sunday was proof of their positive development under the care of their manager Eddie Howe. The goals from both Newcastle players built a strong performance for the Magpies. Barnes and Schar turned the table around to get the odds on their side securing their spot in the top-four and opening the door of them returning to European tournaments.

On the other hand, the Wolves’s frustrating Premier League journey continues even after constant efforts to control the field. Their failure to maintain their defense tactics throughout the match is putting them into the relegation zone. No wins in the last five games will force O’Neil to work on their gameplay in a short period given their next fixture will be on Saturday, September 14 against Aston Villa.

As both teams continue on their journey, Newcastle is about to go against Fulham on Saturday as well. But Wolves has an EFL Cup schedule versus Brighton on Thursday, September 19 before their next Premier League fixture. Re-grouping in a short time can be stressful and challenging for the Wolves but their performance depends on how they quickly recover in their lapses.

It will be a thrilling next match for both teams as one is fighting to climb to the top while the other one needs to maintain its top spot.
