In the early morning of April 9, Beijing time, in a match in the 32nd round of the Premier League, Newcastle faced Wolves at home. As a result, after 90 minutes, Newcastle relied on Chris Wood's point shot to score a 1-0 victory over Wolves, ending the previous embarrassing 3-game losing streak in the Premier League. For Wolves, they have no chance of winning consecutively and still cannot reach the top 7 positions in the Premier League.
As a traditional team in the Premier League, Newcastle was once deep in the relegation zone this season. But with the arrival of the Saudi consortium, this new local team is expected to become a new force in the Premier League. Of course, this season, Newcastle's core task is to stay in the Premier League, for which they spent more than a hundred million in the winter window.
Wolves, on the other hand, are still a spoiler in the Premier League this season. Wolves were just two points behind United before the game, and once they win the game in the early hours of the morning, they will overtake the Red Devils and continue to make Lonnick's team more difficult. However, Newcastle, in the early morning, indirectly helped Manchester United with victory.
In the first half of the game, Newcastle was actually very unlucky. After only 11 minutes of the game, Fraser was substituted due to injury. In the following time, Newcastle actually had a chance to break the goal. In the 23rd minute, Chris Wood swept a shot from the ground, but unfortunately his teammates were offside, so the goal was invalid. In the first half, Newcastle, who played at home, were clearly more scrappy and wanted to get rid of their previous 3 consecutive defeats, but unfortunately luck was not on their side for the time being.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Newcastle finally broke the deadlock on the field. The Newcastle player was brought down after bursting into the box and the referee decisively awarded a penalty after a VAR review. Faced with an opportunity, New Zealand shooter Chris Wood, who joined in the winter window, hit a steady shot, and Newcastle rewrote the score to 1-0, and the Magpies who played at home were finally ahead of their opponents.
In the following time, Wolves also had a certain chance to break the goal, but unfortunately they could not seize it. In the end, the full game was over, and Newcastle, worth 290 million, got rid of the decline and ended a three-game losing streak to welcome the victory of the Premier League.
Newcastle, who scored three points, didn't change much in the standings, but they already had a 10-point advantage over Burnley in the relegation zone. With 8 rounds of the league remaining, relegation is basically impossible as long as Newcastle is not all defeated or completely out of points.
Wolves missed the early morning victory and basically said goodbye to Scramble 4 early. In the subsequent matches, Wolves also have to face absolute giants such as Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool. The inability to overtake Manchester United is also a testament to the fact that even the strongest spoiler is still difficult to be at the top of the Premier League rankings. To really make sense of being at the top of the Premier League, Wolves need to do more.
