Newcastle 1-2 Wolves: Visitors score late winner against 10 men
- From the section Premier League
Matt Doherty headed home in the fifth minute of injury time to give Wolves victory over 10-man Newcastle at St James' Park.
Doherty netted the rebound after Diogo Jota's shot was pushed into his path by Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
Jota had given Wolves the lead before the break when he side-footed home.
Ayoze Perez's superb header quickly pulled Newcastle level, but they were reduced to 10 men when DeAndre Yedlin was sent off after 57 minutes.
Newcastle had dominated the first half - Salomon Rondon smashing a free-kick against the crossbar with one of their 10 shots - but came under increasing pressure after Yedlin's dismissal.
Doherty forced a diving save from Dubravka and Raul Jimenez hit the crossbar, before the former struck the decisive blow as the clock ticked down.
Victory is Wolves' second in succession in the Premier League - the first time they have secured back-to-back wins since early October.
