Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

If it was supposed to be the day Alexander Isak made his debut, the £60 million man, the statement of intent, the manifestation of Newcastle’s buying and pulling power instead stared on from the stands. United’s attention was eventually diverted to the crowd-pleasing talent already in their ranks and, with explosive panache, Allan Saint-Maximin extended their unbeaten start to the season.

As Eddie Howe was without his two premier strikers, with Callum Wilson injured and Isak awaiting a work permit, the Frenchman instead offered a reminder that, even in the darkest and dullest of days under Steve Bruce, he offered the prospect of entertainment. His goals may be too infrequent but a first of the season was memorable and magnificent, a sweetly-struck volley that flew past Jose Sa.

It was almost followed by a winner, with a ferocious shot Sa parried and the young substitute Elliott Anderson hitting the bar still deeper into stoppage time. While depleted, with Bruno Guimaraes also sidelined, Newcastle were not defeated. A comeback felt proof of the spirit imbued by Howe, whose side have only lost two of their last 12 league games, and even then just to Manchester City and Liverpool.

Rich Jolly at Molineux:

That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed the game. Until the next one, goodbye!

That late equaliser means Wolves are still waiting for their first win of the season. They're only four games in of course, but they were within touching distance of three points in this game, only being denied thanks to a moment of magic. Meanwhile, it's three draws in a row for Newcastle, who are still looking to find that cutting edge in the final third, which likely will see them turn one point into three more often than not.

It was a frustrating game for him at times, but Allan Saint-Maximin waited right until the very end to show exactly how valuable he is to this Newcastle side. Alongside that brilliant equaliser, he had five shots with three on target; produced 21 passes in the final third, creating one key chance; contested 14 duels, including via nine dribbles, and won the ball five times, including twice in the final third. He is undoubtedly the Magpies' star player, and record signing Alexander Isak will have to make some impact if he's to challenge for that crown.

Well, what a finish to one hell of a game! After being unlucky not to have scored in the first half, Newcastle finally got their goal 10 minutes from the end, with Saint-Maximin's cracker of a volley ensuring the points are shared at Molineux. Wolves were arguably the better team for much of the second half, but Newcastle had a glut of late chances, one of which was placed home superbly by their mercurial Frenchman. 10 minutes of injury time followed, but no more goals as it finishes 1-1; the hosts still waiting for that maiden win this season.
