Neves rescues point for Wolves at Newcastle

A rare Ruben Neves header cancelled out Jamaal Lascelles' second-half goal to earn Wolverhampton Wanderers a 1-1 draw at Newcastle United.

The home side started brightly, with Miguel Almiron's curling effort hitting the post while Allan Saint-Maximim had a goal ruled out for offside.

Newcastle took the lead on 52 minutes when Ryan Fraser crossed for Lascelles to powerfully head past Rui Patricio.

Wolves equalised with a header of their own as Neves met Pedro Neto's cross in the 73rd minute.

With nine minutes remaining, Joelinton had his shot cleared off the line by Romain Saiss, while substitute Fabio Silva saw his header superbly tipped on to the crossbar by Martin Dubravka in stoppage time.

A fifth successive 1-1 draw between the sides means Newcastle stay 17th with 26 points, four above third-from-bottom Fulham, who visit Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Wolves are 12th on 34 points.
