Newcastle United fought back from a halftime deficit with two long-range strikes in the space of five minutes to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at Molineux on Sunday and move into third place in the Premier League.

Fabian Schar’s speculative effort took a deflection to draw Newcastle level after Wolves captain Mario Lemina’s 36th-minute goal had put the hosts ahead at the break as they chased a first league success of the season.

But while there might have been an element of fortune about Schar’s 75th-minute goal, there was no luck involved as Harvey Barnes thrashed home a spectacular winner five minutes later.

Both efforts came from outside the penalty area and dramatically turned around the outcome after struggling Wolves had dominated most of the encounter.

Livramento is the next Newcastle player to be hooked, and he's replaced by Kieran Trippier at right-back.

Tonali's going nowhere as Gomes shepherds him wide, but that doesn't stop Ait-Nouri from wildly sliding in, catching the Italian from behind and resulting in a yellow card for the Wolves left-back.

Livramento loses out to Bellegarde on the far side and he tees up Cunha to shoot, but the Brazilian's curling effort from the edge of the box is high and wide of Pope's goal frame.

SAVED!!! From the touchline, Lemina curls a glorious cross onto the head of the arriving Strand Larsen, but his close-range header is brilliantly parried by Pope!

CHANCE!! Ait-Nouri's header begind sees Wolves concede a fairly needless corner, but he's bailed out as an attempted flick goalwards from Tonali is easily saved by Johnstone!

Cunha's corner is met by Gomes on the penalty spot, but he gets right underneath his header and can only send it over the bar.

Cunha does brilliantly to turn and sprint away from Gordon before freeing up Semedo to his right. He crosses towards Strand Larsen, but Schar gets across just in time to head the ball behind for a Wolves corner!

Wolves have won just one of their last 13 Premier League games, and are winless in their last six. At home, they’ve lost five of their last six league games, more than in their previous 19 at Molineux, but are on course to put a stop to both of those records!

OFF THE POST!!! Now Wolves strike the woodwork!!! Lemina turns provider for Strand Larsen as he slips a ball into the striker's feet, but the Norwegian's first-time strike cannons back off the base of the upright!

Burn goes to-toe-to with Cunha down the right and does well to force the Brazilian out and wide, but he then prevents Wolves from taking a quick throw-in and is met with a yellow card for time wasting!
