Newcastle – Wolves 1-0: Wood beat Sa from 11 strides

Newcastle beat Wolves in the game that opened the curtain of Premier League game 32 when Chris Wood beat Jose Sa by 11 strides in a penalty that saw the Portuguese goalkeeper fall and react heavily.

The hosts were better all game, losing stage after stage, scoring a goal that was annulled at the beginning but in the end they found the goal that gave them the win and now the team that started the Season fought to is saved at +10 from Redemption.

Newcastle opened the scoring with Wood from high in the small area in the first half, but the phase was controlled in VAR and ruled out as offside.

The goal that the hosts were expecting came in the 72nd minute when Wood received the ball, he caught it in front of Sa who knocked him down and the referee awarded the penalty. The phase was also checked in the VAR and nothing changed in the decision. Wood took charge and defeated Jose Sa to make the hosts 1-0.

Previously unthreatening with only two finals, none of them at home, Wolves came close to equalizing with a shot from Fabio Silva in the 79th minute, but Dubravka delivered an impressive right-corner operation.
