It ended Newcastle 3 Wolves 0.
A very open game and United finally taking one of their chances when Isak scored via a wicked deflection.
A cool finish from a wonderful Bruno pass made it two for both Alexander Isak and Newcastle on 57 minutes.
Then the Sweden international turned provider when setting up Gordon for the third.
A lot of incident and drama, far from a straightforward three goal victory.
Looking at the individuals in black and white, interesting to get an independent perspective on how this played out.

I think very harsh that Joelinton (6.8) the odd one out, especially as he played well.
