Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Newcastle just about squeeze past Wolves with a gritty 1-0 win on Tyneside. The hosts happily grab their first three points of the campaign, while the Old Gold start their season with four straight defeats for the very first time in their history. There was action from the start, as Wolves' new boy Arokodare flicked on a great long ball to Gomes practically from kick-off. Pope had to tip that blazing effort wide of the right post before Hwang's half-volley also required a save from the resulting corner. Three minutes after this, Murphy just curled wide of the top left from distance, before he was then denied from closer range by Johnstone in the 13th minute. The 18th minute saw Schar's brilliant last-ditch lunge deny a certain tap-in for Arokodare, before VAR was called into action at the other end for last-man Mosquera's arm across an advancing Barnes. This was waved away, yet Newcastle remained undeterred as Woltemade scored on his debut with a fine header in the 29th minute. Wolves just couldn't get out of their third, and Murphy's ball was perfect for the 6 ft 6 German. While considerable half-chances nearly added to the score in the first 45, action in the second half was limited to yellow cards and a scrappy midfield battle. Regardless of this, and underperforming their 1.50 xG, Newcastle can now prepare to host Barcelona on Thursday night in the Champions League. Following this performance under their 0.53 xG, Wolves' plight continues. That said, there will be positives they can take from this outing ahead of their next game with newly-promoted Leeds. Thanks for joining us today. Goodbye!

FULL-TIME: NEWCASTLE UNITED 1-0 WOLVES

The hosts go for a final personnel switch now. Sven Botman enters as a reinforcement at the back for the well-applauded Murphy.

Newcastle have a late corner on the right. Trippier takes the out-swinging ball, and Burn rises. However, it's blocked well. Tonali keeps play alive, before going to the left corner and winning a throw.

Arias wriggles into space inside the Newcastle area and is found by Lopez, yet his shot on the right is easily blocked. In the next phase, Guimaraes wins a smart foul off the Colombian.

There will be six minutes of added time at the end of this tetchy second half.

Bellegarde takes the shot from the free-kick, and it hits the wall and goes out for a corner on the right. The visitors ultimately waste the corner, going short before a long ball is smacked out for a goal kick.

Bellgarde surges towards the Newcastle box and is brought down from behind by Guimaraes. It's a relatively needless foul and yellow card for the Brazilian as Burn looked to be covering. What can Wolves do with this free-kick? It's in shooting range.

A right-sided Newcastle corner is worked short before Willock lofts a central ball into the area. Johnstone rises well and punches out. The next phase sees Osula penalised for a shove on Krejci. It's not really been a pretty watch, this second half. Especially compared to the first.

Newcastle restart play with a separate free-kick incident on the left flank. Trippier takes it, and Schar nods back across from the right. Willock then swings a leg at the dropping ball, yet the deflection carries the effort safely back to Johnstone.
