ON THIS DAY 2023: Newcastle United 2 – 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers – Goals from Isak and Almirón seal first win in nearly two months

ON THIS DAY 2023:

Newcastle hosted Wolves, having not won a game since 15th January.

Newcastle took the lead after Trippier’s whipped cross from a free kick was headed in by a returning Isak.

Newcastle took off from there, but we’re unable to find the second goal.

A defensive error in saw Wolves forward Hwang Hee-Chan capitalise and sneak in an equaliser in the second half.

Newcastle’s winner came after a neat one-two between Almirón and Willock saw Almirón curl one in with his left, taking him to eleven goals for the season, making him the top Toon scorer for the season.

A much needed win after two months without one, a Cup final loss, could Newcastle push on from here and push the established ‘top six?’
