The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.

Mario Lemina and Nelson Semedo both went straight back into the Wolves side as Gary O’Neil made two changes for the visit of Newcastle. Matt Doherty and Joao Gomes dropped to the bench as Lemina and Semedo came back from suspension.

Callum Wilson replaced the injured Alexander Isak in the only change to the Newcastle side that started Wednesday’s 1-0 Champions League defeat at home to Borussia Dortmund. There was no Sandro Tonali in the squad as the Italy midfielder begins a 10-month ban for betting offences.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

After a first half in which they had far less of the ball, Wolves are dominating possession now, as they seek a second equaliser. Newcastle are quite capable on the counter-attack, so it won't concern them too much.

Neto's free-kick from just over 20 yards out strikes the top of Newcastle's defensive wall, and then the Magpies streak away on the break. Semedo sweeps up to deny Wilson access to the Wolves area, at the cost of a corner.

Neto's driving run towards the area is finally halted by the close attentions of Burn just outside the box, and Wolves are awarded a rather soft free-kick in a dangerous area.

The hosts kick off, and we are back under way in Wolverhampton!

Newcastle had a greater share of the ball during the first half (60 percent) but Wolves have posed just as much of a threat in the final third, so can the home team turn it around after the interval? The all-Portuguese link-up between Semedo and Neto on their right flank has proved particularly effective - perhaps that could be the route back into this game.

After a dramatic conclusion, the first half of this absorbing Premier League contest comes to an end with Newcastle United leading 2-1. While Wilson was sharp enough to capitalise on Sa's mistake to open the scoring, the visitors barely merited their advantage before Lemina equalised, and a late lapse then saw Wolves fall behind once again. Hwang conceded a penalty on the stroke of half-time, and Wilson stepped up to do what he does best. Newcastle then survived a late VAR check for a possible spot-kick - it's been all-action at Molineux!

NO PENALTY! Following a relatively brief review, the VAR decides no penalty should be awarded to Wolves: apparently the ball did not strike the hand of Bruno Guimaraes. It's a let-off for Newcastle!

PENALTY FOR WOLVES? After Pope comes haring out of his box, Cunha lofts the ball over Bruno Guimaraes in the area, and it seems it may have brushed the Newcastle player's hand! The VAR will check!
