John Terry delivers 'so good' Newcastle United assessment after Wolves win

Chelsea legend John Terry has revealed his admiration for Newcastle United following their 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James' Park.

Newcastle revived their chances of finishing in the top four by ending a run of five league games without a win. They leapfrogged Liverpool to climb into fifth, and boast two games in hand over fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur, who they trail by four points.

Alexander Isak capped an impressive display by meeting Kieran Trippier's brilliant delivery with a bullet header into the far corner in the 26th minute.

Hwang Hee-chan equalised within 60 seconds of entering the pitch with 20 minutes remaining, but Miguel Almiron produced his own heroics from the bench by scoring the winning goal in the 79th minute.

Terry took to social media to praise the performance from Eddie Howe's men, and tweeted: "Newcastle are so good to watch."

The former England international and Chelsea captain has previously shared his admiration for Newcastle's style of play, including most notably after they booked their place in the Carabao Cup final.

Newcastle had produced a rip-roaring start with a brace from Sean Longstaff helping guide them to a 2-1 victory over Southampton in the semi-final second leg.

"I'm loving what Newcastle are doing and how they play. They constantly look to play forward and as a neutral it's great to watch," the ex-Aston Villa assistant tweeted in January.
