Newcastle United were fresh off a 4-0 thrashing at the hand of Stoke City but they doled out one of their own against sorry Wolverhampton today. Goals by Kevin Nolan, Shola Ameobi, and Peter Lovenkrands had the home site up 3-0 before Sylvain Ebanks-Blake pulled one back for Wolves, but the Magpies would have the last last as Jonas Gutierrez added insult to injury with a stoppage-time fourth.
Newcastle United Vs. Wolverhampton: Powerful Display Leads To 4-1 Newcastle Win
It was a cruel result for Wolves, who had managed a vital 1-0 win at Villa Park in their last expedition from Molineux and need all the points - and probably all the goal differential - that they can possibly get in order to avoid relegation this season. Alas for Mick McCarthy's side, who've managed to beat both Manchester United and Chelsea at home this season, they were dire against Newcastle and aside from a too-little-too-late second half spell were simply blown off the park.
Wolves drop into 19th after the loss and they're only a point clear of last-place Wigan with seven games left to play. Newcastle, meanwhile, jump into the top half, leapfrogging Stoke and Sunderland to claim ninth.
