Newcastle United earned their first Premier League win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at St. James’ Park. The decisive moment came in the 29th minute when new signing Nick Woltemade marked his debut with a well-taken header from Jacob Murphy’s cross.

Eddie Howe’s side started strongly, pushing Wolves back with aggressive pressing and purposeful play in midfield. Woltemade’s goal rewarded their early dominance and gave the Magpies the confidence to control much of the first half.

Wolves responded after the break, pushing higher up the pitch and creating several dangerous moments, but they were denied by Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope, who produced crucial saves to preserve the lead. Despite late pressure, the visitors could not find a breakthrough.

The result ends Newcastle’s early winless run and provides a major boost, particularly with Woltemade immediately stepping up to ease the absence of key attackers. For Wolves, the defeat extends their difficult start to the campaign, leaving them still searching for form and consistency.
