Newcastle United climbed back up to fifth in the Premier League table with a 2-1 victory over Wolves.
Eddie Howe named five changes to his starting XI - including a completely changed front three of Jacob Murphy, Allan Saint-Maximin and Alexander Isak.
And it was Isak, in for Callum Wilson, who headed the Magpies in front on 26 minutes when he directed Kieran Trippier’s free-kick into the bottom right corner.
A Trippier error gifted Wolves an equaliser midway through the second-half but substitute Miguel Almiron found a winner in the 79th-minute.
The win was United’s first win in six matches. Here’s our player ratings from the win on Tyneside:

2. Nick Pope - 6
Pope’s blushes were spared by VAR after a terrible touch was pounced on by Jimenez in the penalty box. Looked shaky at times but pulled off a standout save to deny Moutinho.
3. Kieran Trippier - 5
A costly error led to Wolves’ equaliser, which overshadowed his brilliant free-kick assist for Isak’s opener. Has looked off colour for a few weeks now.
4. Fabian Schar - 7
Solid and reliable. Made a hugely important tackle on Podence as Wolves counter-attacked on 55 minutes.
