Sven Botman has hailed Newcastle United's unbeaten start to the Premier League season - despite a close shave at Molineux.
A 90th-minute wonder goal from Allan Saint-Maximin clinched a point for the Magpies and they could have even snatched a victory at the death after finishing on top against win-less Wolverhampton Wanderers. Had Fabian Schar's late free-kick flashed the right side of the post it would have set up a dramatic finale.
But Botman emerged to reflect after the game: "We had some big chances at the end of the game. Overall, we deserved to win today. It was a difficult start for us but we controlled the game very well.

"We had some problems in the final third to get good chances and they were dangerous with the attacks, with the counters because they had fast attackers. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the three points, it felt like we could have got it.
"We’re happy with one but could have got three."
Botman is also delighted with the unbeaten sequence that has kicked off the 2022/23 season. He said: "We are happy that we are still unbeaten but we want to win games, it’s a good start but we’re looking for a win.
"I was up front the time that Maxi scored and I was just thinking what everyone was thinking which is what an amazing goal. We are very happy with him to make this goal for us and we didn’t deserve to lose.
"After their goal, we were pretty much dominating but having difficulty creating chances but in the last 10, 15 minutes we were really knocking on the door and finally got the goal. "
