Newcastle United player ratings: Five 8/10s as Allan Saint-Maximin stunner earns point at Wolves

Newcastle United player ratings from the 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Newcastle United maintained their unbeaten start to the Premier League season after Allan Saint-Maximin’s stunning equaliser at Wolves.

The Frenchman hit a beautifully struck volley in the 90th-minute to cancel out Ruben Neves’ first-half opener for the hosts.

Eddie Howe made two enforced changes to starting XI against Manchester City - with Callum Wilson and Bruno Guimaraes sidelined.

Wilson, replaced by Chris Wood, was ruled out during the week, while Guimaraes’ absence was a big shock. Sean Longstaff got his chance in midfield.

The Magpies boss was unable to call upon club-record signing Alexander Isak either, with the striker yet to receive a work permit.

Wolves took the lead when Neves hit a long range shot out of reach for Nick Pope.

United improved after half-time and continued to see the better side of the possession stats and grabbed a deserved point after Saint-Maximin’s incredible volley.
