Newcastle United are now within touching distance of Premier League survival following this evening’s hard-fought 1-0 win over Wolves. Chris Wood was the hero for the Magpies as he netted his first goal on home soil since his January move from the penalty spot.
And it was Wood who won the chance to score from 12-yards as he went down under a challenge from Jose Sa following a driving run and through ball from Joelinton. The 30-year-old thought he had broken his St. James’ Park duck in the first half, but his close range effort was ruled out for offside by VAR earlier in the move.
Newcastle are now up to 14 th in the table and crucially, have opened up a 10 point gap to the bottom three. Here is how Newcastle supporters have been reacting to the result.
