Newcastle 1-1 Wolves: Jonny earns a point for Wolves after Lascelles opener


Jonny scores Wolves' equaliser against Newcastle

Jonny’s equaliser was just his second Premier League goal for Wolves and first since September 2018

A close-range finish from Jonny ensured Wolves fought back to earn a battling point against Newcastle at St James’ Park.

Spaniard Jonny volleyed home from six yards after goalkeeper Martin Dubravka had fumbled Matt Doherty’s cross into his path to cap a much-improved second-half display from Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.

Magpies captain Jamaal Lascelles scored the opener with a powerful near-post header from Federico Fernandez’s cross to light up what had been a largely dour first half.

Newcastle ended the game with 10 men when midfielder Sean Longstaff was sent off late on for a high challenge on Ruben Neves.

Doherty very nearly secured all three points for Wolves in stoppage time, but his header across goal from Raul Jimenez’s cross flashed just wide.
