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.

We’re all set for a fairly even game despite these two sides’ respective positions in the Premier League table – at least according to our live win probability tracker. That’s got Wolves at a 30.5 per cent chance of victory, with Newcastle leading the way on 43.7 per cent, but that’s all subject to change as the two teams head out onto the Molineux pitch!

Newcastle, on the other hand, make three changes from their 2-1 win over Spurs last time out as Fabian Schar, Lewis Hall and Jacob Murphy all coming into the side – while the visitors also have plenty of quality on the bench with Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes ready to make an impact should they enter the field of play.

Gary O’Neil makes a solitary changes to the side which drew 1-1 against Nottingham Forest last time out, with new signing Andre making his full debut in midfield. Defender Toti Gomes drops out, and that also means a switch into a more attacking role for his compatriot Joao Gomes.

The Magpies, however, are unbeaten thus far and sit eighth following two wins and a draw so far this season, including a late victory over Tottenham last time out. Newcastle have the chance to move level on points with Arsenal with a victory here, and one by three or more goals would send them above the Gunners into second.

Third-bottom Wolves are still searching for their first win of the new season, but did claim their first points of the campaign at Nottingham Forest last time out following back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Chelsea. Gary O’Neil’s side could climb as high as 13th in the table if they do break their duck against Newcastle.
