Newcastle slays Wolves as Howe hits 100 wins
Newcastle United returned to winning ways with a 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League after goals from Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento gave Eddie Howe's side a first home win of 2024.
Newcastle had gone four games without a win at St James' Park and victory moved it up to eighth place with 40 points while Gary O'Neil's Wolves are two points behind in 10th.
It was Eddie Howe's 100th win in the Premier League as a manager while Newcastle kept its first clean sheet in 10 games and looks to move up the standings and secure qualification for European competition for a second straight season.
"A big win for us. We hadn't won at home here in 2024 and our home form has been so good since I've been here," Howe said.
"Our home form has been the bedrock of our success, so to come back from our first wobble is great."
