"Wolves extended their unbeaten run to five games but there were few other positives after a desperately drab goalless draw with Newcastle this afternoon. Rob Edwards' side need wins if their remote hopes of pulling off the greatest escape act in the history of the Premier League is to be realised but they were unable to find a breakthrough against a Newcastle side who move up to eighth with the point."
"The first half was low on quality and goalmouth incident with Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade particularly wasteful. The Germany international had two presentable opportunities inside the opening 15 minutes, heading the first wide from around eight yards when unmarked and twisting to send a second effort just over. Wolves gradually grew into the game and Mateus Mane almost scored for the third successive Premier League game with a smart volley on the turn that flew straight at Nick Pope in the Newcastle goal."
Wolves extended their unbeaten run to five matches but remain bottom of the Premier League, 14 points from safety. Newcastle moved up to eighth after the goalless draw. The match produced few clear chances and was low on quality, with Newcastle not registering a shot on target until the 85th minute. Nick Woltemade missed early opportunities while Wolves threatened through Mateus Mane and set-piece attempts. The second half was even more turgid until late substitutions gave Newcastle brief momentum, but both sides failed to convert chances and the game finished 0-0.
