Wolves get us going again. You get the feeling one goal might decide this one.
Wolves 0-0 Newcastle
49 minutes
Excellent linkup play between Jota and Jimenez, who exchange passes twice. The latter finds himself in the box and sees his shot deflected wide. From the corner, the ball is headed into the path of Doherty, who looks certain to score. Longstaff does enough to distract the Wolves man, though, and his header from a few yards out flies over the bar.
Wolves 0-0 Newcastle
51 minutes
A moment to forget for Yedlin, who tries to hit a volley first time and misses the ball completely.
Wolves come away with the ball and there's a clash between Schar and Jota. Both players go into the book.
Wolves 0-0 Newcastle
53 minutes
Jota wins a corner, which is lofted into the box. Dubravka ventures off his line and catches well. Newcastle's goalkeeper has been steady so far, after that mistake at Tottenham last weekend.
GOAL! Wolves 0-1 Newcastle (Hayden)
56 minutes
Newcastle lead! Schar finds himself in space in the middle and slides an excellent pass into the path of Hayden. The midfielder gets the ball out of his feet and fires a shot off. Patricio should probably save it, but he can't get enough contact on the ball to divert it away. Wolves have a tough task on their hands now.
Wolves 0-1 Newcastle
57 minutes
The hosts look to hit back immediately through Jota, who hits a powerful shot from the edge of the box but can't beat Dubravka.
Wolves 0-1 Newcastle
59 minutes
Wolves have responded well. Jota curls an inviting ball towards the far post and it's met by Dendoncker. Again, his header is saved by Dubravka, who holds the ball well.
Wolves 0-1 Newcastle
64 minutes
This is exactly the position Benitez would have wanted to be in with just over an hour played. Newcastle can now sit on their lead and look to break. They may be in a fight to avoid relegation, but the Magpies defensive record is amongst the best in the division.
Wolves 0-1 Newcastle
65 minutes
Jimenez, on the right wing, turns his marker and reaches the byline. He cuts the ball back across goal and it drops to Doherty, whose shot cannons off one of his own players.
Wolves 0-1 Newcastle
67 minutes
Newcastle look to catch Wolves out with a quick free kick and Rondon latches onto a ball over the top. Coady and Boly just about do enough to crowd out the former West Brom striker, who has been lively tonight.
