Newcastle boss Eddie Howe was pleased after their 3-0 win over Wolves on Wednesday night.

Alexander Isak (2) and Anthony Gordon scored Newcastle’s goals on the night.

Howe said afterwards: “We had to be patient and we had to play a little differently.

“We had a lot of ball in the first half, we knew Wolves would be stubborn opponents. We were lucky with the first goal but overall I think we deserved it.

“Depending on how the game goes, you need different ways to win. The first goal was so important today, we had a few scares today, Wolves are difficult to play against.

“Overall I can’t be too picky, it’s nine wins in a row now. We know we can play better than we did today, we did enough hard work to get the win.

“There’s a lot to be positive about and a lot to improve on.”

Of Isak, Howe added: “That’s one of his greatest strengths – his composure and his level of finishing are at the highest level. He has the extra second of composure that top players have.
