Newcastle blunt as Wolves hold firm in goalless draw

Newcastle United dominated possession at Molineux but lacked creativity and cutting edge in a drab stalemate.
The visitors missed the chance to move fifth, controlling territory without troubling the defence or goalkeeper.
Nick Woltemade struggled up front, while crosses and set pieces failed to produce clear chances.
Wolverhampton Wanderers were organised, resilient and content to counter when space appeared.
Mateus Mané provided Wolves’ main spark, while Newcastle’s best efforts came late and were comfortably saved.
Both managers praised effort, but the draw underlined Newcastle’s attacking shortcomings and Wolves’ growing stability.
