Wolves Draw With Newcastle To Extend Unbeaten Run

Newcastle missed the chance to climb into the Premier League’s top five after being held to a goalless draw at battling Wolves.
The Champions League-chasing Magpies were looking for a fourth straight league win for the first time since April, but lacked inspiration as striker Nick Woltemade again drew a blank.
The £69m Germany forward, who scored on his Newcastle debut against Wolves in September, now has just three goals in his past 19 games and was replaced by Yoane Wissa in the second half.
Eddie Howe’s side would have gone fifth with a win by two clear goals, but did not manage a shot on target until the 85th minute – although they did move up a place to eighth with this point.
Rock-bottom Wolves are 14 points from safety and have other priorities, but have rediscovered their drive and – more importantly – their organisation in recent weeks.
While it will be too late to save them after failing to win any of their opening 19 games, there is at least growing optimism for the future under boss Rob Edwards.
Much of that comes from teenage breakthrough star Mateus Mane, who hooked a shot at Nick Pope, while Jose Sa saved late efforts from Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton.
