"Wolves stretched their unbeaten run to five games in all competitions, as the Premier League's bottom club held Newcastle United to a goalless draw at Molineux. Eddie Howe's visitors could have climbed to fifth - and into a potential Champions League spot - with a victory, but fatigue appeared to play a part in their flat performance. Newcastle dominated possession for long periods, but their only real chance of the first half saw Nick Woltemade miscue his header from Harvey Barnes' cross."
"Wolves, meanwhile, had several bright moments on the counter-attack. Breakout star Mateus Mane saw an acrobatic attempt held by Nick Pope, while Hugo Bueno's powerful drive from the right side of the area brushed the roof of the net. Newcastle upped the ante in the second half, but they still did not register a shot on target until the 85th minute, as Kieran Trippier's free-kick zipped wide of Jose Sa's left post."
