Wolves came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw with Newcastle in an entertaining and eventful contest at Molineux.
Callum Wilson twice put the away side ahead in the first half, seizing upon an error by goalkeeper Jose Sa for the opener and scoring from the spot following a controversial penalty awarded against Hee-Chan Hwang. Each time, a spirited Wolves side was able to conjure an equalizer.
Mario Lemina headed in Pedro Neto's corner for the first of them before Hwang himself leveled it up again after heavy home pressure in the second half. An injury to Neto curtailed Wolves' momentum but Fabian Schar headed the last chance wide and both teams had to accept a point.
The result means Eddie Howe's team miss the chance to move above Aston Villa and remain sixth. Gary O'Neil's Wolves could have moved into the top half with victory but instead go 12th. Both teams and managers were applauded by their supporters at the final whistle.
