Newcastle United 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Newcastle United 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday, 13 September 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, Newcastle did it again, didn't they? A solid 1-0 win over Wolves at home, keeping their unbeaten streak alive at St. James' Park. Nick Woltemade's goal in the 29th minute was all they needed to secure the three points. Given Wolves' recent form, with four losses on the trot, you might say this result was expected, but it's never easy against a side fighting for their lives at the bottom. Newcastle's resilience shone through, and they've now moved up to 9th in the league, showing they're not just here to make up the numbers.

Wolves, on the other hand, are in a bit of a pickle. Their struggle continued with another defeat, and they're still searching for their first point of the season. The lads from the Midlands had a few yellow cards flying around, showing their frustration, but they couldn't find a way past Nick Pope. It's a tough time for Wolves, but they'll need to regroup quickly if they want to climb out of the relegation zone.

The stats tell a story of Newcastle's dominance, with 57% possession and nine corners compared to Wolves' four. It's clear they controlled the game, and the result reflects that. What's interesting is Wolves' higher successful dribble percentage at 46%, but it didn't translate into goals. The four yellow cards for Wolves also highlight their struggle to keep their cool, while Newcastle kept it disciplined with just one booking.

The game's turning point came early when Nick Woltemade found the back of the net in the 29th minute. That goal set the tone for the rest of the match, giving Newcastle the lead they needed to hold onto. Wolves tried to fight back, but their efforts were hampered by a series of yellow cards, starting with Ladislav Krejčí in the 7th minute and culminating with João Victor Gomes da Silva in the 68th.

Newcastle's substitutions in the second half, including Will Osula and Joseph Willock in the 65th minute, helped maintain their momentum. Wolves made a triple substitution in the 66th minute, but it was too little, too late. The yellow card to Marshall Nyasha Munetsi just a minute after coming on summed up their day – a bit of a mess.

Newcastle lined up in a 4-3-3, with Nick Pope between the sticks and a solid backline led by Fabian Schär and Dan Burn. The midfield trio of Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, and Joelinton provided the engine room, while Nick Woltemade's goal proved his worth up top. The substitutions of Will Osula and Joseph Willock in the 65th minute added fresh legs and helped secure the win. No real surprises in the lineup, but Woltemade's performance was the standout.

Wolves went with a 3-5-2 formation, with Sam Johnstone in goal and a back three of Emmanuel Agbadou, Yerson Mosquera, and Toti. The midfield was packed, but it didn't help them control the game. André and João Gomes tried to make things happen, but it was a tough day at the office. The triple substitution in the 66th minute was a desperate attempt to change the game, but it didn't pay off. Marshall Nyasha Munetsi's yellow card shortly after coming on was a low point in an already challenging match.

Nick Woltemade is Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match, and rightly so. His goal in the 29th minute was the difference-maker, and he showed his class with a key pass that helped Newcastle maintain their lead. With one goal and a solid performance, Woltemade proved he's a player to watch.
