Newcastle United star Alexander Isak reflected after firing the Magpies back into European contention at St James' Park.
It was the £63million Sweden international's opener that set Newcastle on their way to a much-needed victory on Tyneside. His first half header was cancelled out by Wolves in the second half but United went on to win it through Miguel Almiron.
After the match, Isak said: "I've been wanting to play more but it has been giving me a bit of fuel and I'm happy to start today and get three points.

"I've had to be patient but I've been working hard. The team have been playing good but we haven't got the results and today was all about winning. I was happy to have him [Kieran Trippier] as my assist-man today. It was a great delivery and a good header too."
Isak was subbed in the second half with Eddie Howe insisting earlier in the week he could not complete 90 minutes yet after a muscle injury earlier this season.
Reflecting on his performance, Isak said: "I think there was a lot of space and I was told to try and use it.
"We created a lot of chances and could have scored three or four in the first half. "Fortunately, two was enough.
"Even though we haven't been getting the results we wanted, we have been playing well. Now we have a positive feeling for next week."
