Reuben Neves has labelled Newcastle United a 'long ball' side and slammed the VAR decision not to show Fabian Schar a straight red card. The Magpies came from behind at Molineux to earn a 1-1 draw on Sunday afternoon, and preserve their unbeaten start to the season.
Neves fired the hosts in front with a trademark long-range strike before the break, and Bruno Lage's side looked to be on course for their first top-flight win in 11 attempts. Raul Jimenez applied the finishing touch to a counter attack in the closing stages, but the goal was disallowed after Pedro Neto was penalised for a shove on Ryan Fraser in the build-up.
Allan Saint-Maximin' stunning stoppage-time strike earned the visitors a point, while Elliot Anderson came close to a winning goal but saw his header bounce back off the crossbar. Newcastle struggled to fashion clearcut opportunities despite registering 64% possession, with Wolves largely playing on the counter.
