00:00Wolverhampton Wanderers are still winless to start the new season.
00:03They were looking to finally change that four fixtures in as they hosted
00:06Newcastle United at Molyneux, a Newcastle side who almost led it seven minutes in.
00:10Good move here by Newcastle.
00:13And the first big chance.
00:14It goes behind for a corner, but Wolves there were sliced wide open.
00:18Though it went on to be a less than ideal first half performance from the visitors
00:21and Wolves would take the lead with nine minutes until the break.
00:24Trantleton, oh, it left from Lamina.
00:33Well, they were about so well.
00:35Frustrated, Eddie Howe opted for a triple change at halftime
00:38that only few knew would completely alter the course of the contest.
00:41As the second standard grew old with Wolves unable to add a second,
00:44a pile driver from 30 out set up an exciting finale.
00:48It would be only a few short minutes later that the game had completely turned on its head
01:04and a special strike from one of those super subs had the Geordies up and about.
01:19Newcastle held on to secure the three points, making it 10 from a possible 12 to start their
01:23campaign as praise for Eddie Howe and his men's comeback efforts drowned out Wolves' disappointment.
