Newcastle reacts with a 2-1 victory against Wolwerhampton
On Sunday, Newcastle reacted with a 2-1 victory against Wolwerhampton, thanks to a goal in the 78th minute from Miguel Almirón, who finished a move initiated and transformed with his left foot inside the box to secure the win for his team, which had gone five matches without a win.

After two consecutive defeats, with only one victory in their previous eight matches in the Premier League, Newcastle secured a hard-fought victory.
