  1. Wolves 0-0 Newcastle

    JAN 19

    Wolves 0-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle missed the chance to climb into the Premier League's top five after being held to a goalless draw at battling Wolves. The Champions League-chasing Magpies were looking for a fourth straight league win for the first time since April, but lacked inspiration as striker Nick Woltemade again drew a blank. The £69m Germany forward, who scored on his Newcastle debut against Wolves in September, now has just three goals in his past 19 games and was replaced by Yoane Wissa in the second half. Eddie Howe's side would have gone fifth with a win by two clear goals, but did not manage a shot on target until the 85th minute - although they did move up a place to eighth with this point. Rock-bottom Wolves are 14 points from safety and have other priorities, but have rediscovered their drive and - more importantly - their organisation in recent weeks. While it will be too late to save them after failing to win any of their opening 19 games, there is at least growing optimism for the future under boss Rob Edwards. Much of that comes from teenage breakthrough star Mateus Mane, who hooked a shot at Nick Pope, while Jose Sa saved late efforts from Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton. Woltemade's goal struggles will be a growing concern for Howe - and the striker's barren spell could dent Newcastle's Champions League hopes. Just three goals in his past 19 games is not a total Woltemade or his manager would have expected after a goalscoring debut against Wolves in September. The German scored five times in his first eight matches after a club record move from Stuttgart in an impressive start to life in the north east. But that confidence has ebbed away and the 23-year-old was replaced by Wissa midway through the second half after another fruitless outing. Woltemade was not given a great deal of service, but what he did have to work with he wasted - including a glancing first-half header which he may have done better with. He still has seven goals in 19 appearances, but if he fails to re-find his shooting boots it will harm the Magpies' top-four chances. Newcastle had scored seven goals in their past three league matches - all wins - before coming to Molineux, but with just one by a striker (Wissa's goal against Burnley). The Magpies did not have a shot on target while Woltemade was on the pitch on Sunday - albeit a statistic he is not entirely responsible for - and will view a stalemate against the league's bottom side as a wasted opportunity. However, Wolves have rediscovered their fight and a point in a forgettable match was a fair result, even if Newcastle will have reasons to be deflated.

  2. Germany media & fans go nuts over Woltemade | Elanga leaves Swedish camp early for personal reasons

    Germany media & fans go nuts over Woltemade | Elanga leaves Swedish camp early for personal reasons

    Newcastle United’s November international break saw a mixed set of fortunes for their players, with several key names representing their countries while others were forced to withdraw due to injury. The Magpies had 12 players called up across England, Italy, Brazil, Germany, and Sweden, highlighting the squad’s growing international profile. Dan Burn featured for England in World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania, while Bruno Guimarães continued to impress for Brazil. Sandro Tonali was included in Italy’s squad for their crucial qualifier against Moldova, though his situation drew headlines after a surprise decision regarding his availability. Meanwhile, Anthony Gordon and Nick Pope were both withdrawn from England duty due to injury concerns, a blow for their personal ambitions but potentially a relief for Eddie Howe, who will want them fit for Newcastle’s upcoming fixtures. Elsewhere, Nick Woltemade and Malick Thiaw represented Germany, while Anthony Elanga linked up with Sweden. The break came at a difficult time for Newcastle, who entered it on the back of consecutive Premier League defeats to West Ham and Brentford, despite taking early leads in both matches. Fans have grown frustrated with the dip in form, but the pause offered Howe a chance to regroup and reset ahead of a daunting run of fixtures. When domestic action resumes, Newcastle face Manchester City at St James’ Park on 22 November, followed by a crucial Champions League clash away to Marseille and then a Premier League trip to Everton. With international duties wrapped up, Howe will hope his returning stars bring confidence and momentum back to Tyneside, as the Magpies look to reignite their season. Hosted on Acast.

  3. Brentford 3-1 Newcastle

    11/10/2025

    Brentford 3-1 Newcastle

    Igor Thiago scored a late double as Brentford came from behind to defeat Newcastle United and extend the visitors' miserable Premier League record on the road. Harvey Barnes had put Newcastle ahead in the first half at the Gtech Community Stadium after lashing the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher from inside the box. But Brentford came roaring back after the break and the hosts drew level through Kevin Schade's header after Sven Botman could only flick Michael Kayode's long throw across the box to the forward, who nodded home. It was Brentford, rather than Newcastle, who pushed for a winner and the hosts were awarded a spot-kick by referee Stuart Attwell when Dan Burn took down Dango Ouattara inside the box. Burn, who was relieved to avoid punishment after fouling Ouattara inside the box only a few minutes earlier, was sent off after being shown a second yellow card. It fell to substitute Aaron Ramsdale, on his first league appearance for Newcastle, to try to save Thiago's penalty after a groggy Pope went off following an awkward landing. But the goalkeeper's first act of the afternoon was to pick the ball out of the net after Thiago coolly sent him the wrong way from the spot. There was still time for Thiago to add another after Malick Thiaw failed to deal with a through ball and the Brentford striker finished past Ramsdale once again. Newcastle, who have slipped to 14th place, have now failed to win an away league game since April. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
