How did the players fare in Newcastle's 1-1 draw with Wolves?


NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):

7 Dubravka: Should have done better with Neves’ goal, but redeemed himself with a sensational stoppage-time save from Silva

4 Krafth: Struggled against Traore’s pace all night and was eventually withdrawn with just under 20 minutes left

7 Lascelles: Dominated at the heart of Newcastle’s back four for most of the night and scored with an excellent header

7 Clark: Ensured Jose was not able to offer a threat during his time on the field, and won some important headers

4 Lewis: Continues to struggle defensively and stood off Neto as the Wolves forward crossed for Neves’ goal

5 Hayden: Was faring reasonably well in midfield, but wasn’t able to keep track of Neves after he was switched to right-back

6 Shelvey: Played a wonderful ball to release Almiron in the early stages and provided a few more useful passes

6 Willock: Displayed plenty of energy at the heart of midfield, but should really have scored when Patricio saved his first-half shot

6 Joelinton: Put in a shift on the right of Newcastle’s attack, but wasted a great opportunity when his late shot struck Saiss

6 Almiron: Hit the post as he troubled the Wolves defence throughout the first half, but was forced off with an injury at the interval

7 SAINT-MAXIMIN: Troubled the Wolves defence whenever he embarked on a dribble – Newcastle will be hoping his injury is not too serious


Subs:

7 Fraser (for Almiron, 46): Provided some drive and energy in the final third and delivered the cross for Lascelles’ goal

6 Murphy (for Saint-Maximin, 63): Made a couple of dangerous late dribbles and set up Joelinton’s great late chance

Ritchie (for Krafth, 71)
