Newcastle

Allan Saint-Maximin's 90th minute strike rescued a 1-1 draw for Newcastle to deny Wolves in the Premier League.

“The first one [Schär’s tackle] I think if the VAR tells him to go and look, maybe he makes a better decision.” “In the moment, the referee sees nothing but then the VAR talks to him and he changes his mind,” Lage said. Pedro Neto cut a frustrated figure at times at his teammates’ decision-making, and at the two VAR decisions that went against Wolves. With a recharged squad, Lage can expect to be judged in the coming weeks, especially if Wolves complete their move for the Austrian striker Sasa Kalajdzic from VfB Stuttgart by this week’s transfer deadline. This left Wolves ruing their failure to convert more than one of their few but clearcut chances after Rúben Neves had given them the lead late in the first half with a superb goal of his own. Saint-Maximin, after his first goal since January, ran clear only for José Sá to save brilliantly and then the Wolves goalkeeper was beaten as Neves tussled with substitute Elliot Anderson and the ball struck the crossbar.

NATHAN SALT AT MONLINEUX Wolves are still waiting their first three points of the season as a late goal from Allen Saint-Maximin saw a share of the spoils ...

In the end a draw, but Isak’s main takeaway? Wolves, incensed, then believed, with eight minutes left, they’d sealed their first win of the season when Jimenez tapped in after a three-on-one break. Neto had fouled Ryan Fraser to start the break. ‘When that ball was popped up in the air, he is so unpredictable you don’t know what is going to happen. Two minutes after the break, fans still filtering into the South Bank, Fabian Schar was late catching Neto’s shin. Everyone outside of Saint-Maximin seemed to freeze as the ball fell onto his right foot. It was a miss that, even with Neves scoring minutes later, summed up Wolves’ struggles. Much is expected of Alexander Isak, the £60million club record signing that penned a six-year deal from Real Sociedad last week. Flush on the volley. Playing next to the Frenchman is going to be a hell of a lot of fun. It was building to a crescendo and boy did Saint-Maximin deliver the showstopper with, unquestionably, a goal of the season contender. Fair play, what a finish.’

Ruben Neves' screamer had given Wolves the lead but the hosts had to hold on with Elliot Anderson hitting the bar in stoppage time. Newcastle needed Saint- ...

He played the ball inside to Neves and the midfielder unleashed a stunning low drive into Nick Pope’s bottom corner from 25 yards. The Magpies pressed but left themselves open to the break and Wolves thought they had doubled their lead with 10 minutes left only to see Jimenez’s goal disallowed. The striker had time to pick out the onrushing and unmarked Nunes, only for the club-record signing to wastefully head wide.

Newcastle United could 'bid for a central midfielder' ahead of the transfer window closing, according to journalist Dean Jones.

Downie's Sky Sports colleague Dharmesh Sheth has said the club could revisit their interest in Watford's Pedro despite the signing of Isak. “The Isak deal came ...

“The Isak deal came out of the blue a little bit, and up to that point Newcastle were in discussions with Watford about Joao Pedro,” Sheth told Sky Sports. Newcastle have been linked with a range of names across the summer but it appears they will target their efforts to just two clubs during the rest of the window. It was the structure of the add-ons which was still under discussion.” Eddie Howe remains keen to add to his squad despite recently smashing the club’s transfer record to sign Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak and could revive interest in [Watford](/latest/watford-fc) forward Joao Pedro. He has been tipped to add two more to his squad by Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie. The Magpies have already had something of a busy window with four new faces arriving at St James’ Park.
