FT: Wolves 1-2 Newcastle
Wolves
Wolves manager Gary O'Neil speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It is the Premier League and it can happen. We have got some tough games against teams who are going to finish high up the league and unfortunately they can kill you with moments. I asked the group to give everything and that was pretty close to everything today. We made an error for the second goal which was the only disappointment for me. Harvey Barnes was allowed to come inside which shouldn't have happened. Losing Nelson Semedo to cramp was bad and he is important for us so we need to make sure he is alright."
On Andre's first start: "Very good, he's a good player obviously. New system today with the three midfielders in. An awful lot of positives. Of course the only positives that people are interested in is points. From my point of view, to have come up with a new structure for the team and for it to look how it did against Newcastle was a big plus for us.
On the performance: "Looking forward to what we can do. Tough run coming up, one of the toughest starts fixture wise. If we play like that every week then we will be absolutely fine. If we maintain our level, that sort of performance will pick up a lot of points this season. Keep pushing."

On his goal: "We didn't create as many chances as we wanted so I thought let's have a go and it took a little deflection and went in. Overall I think we deserved the win."
On Harvey Barnes' goal: "His was better than mine! He comes on often and scores goal. He is a big player. I am happy for him as well. The goal was amazing."
On the way the game panned out: "We started the game quite well and then the level dropped a bit. They scored with their first chance and then it is always going to be tough. We said at half-time we needed to be better on the ball. Now is the time to try and be consistent over the 90 minutes.
"It is a great start to the season in terms of results. 10 points from four games is big. Performance-wise we can improve a lot. Great start but we need to work on our performances."
On Nick Pope's last-minute save: "Incredible save. He has saved us a lot since he has been here. He is an amazing goalkeeper and we needed him. He saved us the three points so big thanks to him."
FT: Wolves 1-2 Newcastle
With 10 points after four games, Newcastle United have made their best start to a Premier League campaign since the 1995-96 season, when they won each of their opening four matches under Kevin Keegan.
Their away kit this season is styled on that season's one.

Newcastle United
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I do think it is a squad game and we need to use the good players that we have. I'm very prepared to make early changes if I feel something is not right as it was today. There wasn't any hesitation from my view, we needs to inject some energy and just a new dynamic into the team. That's not a reflection on the players that came off but thankfully it helped us this time."
On Harvey Barnes: "He's an outstanding finisher, he really is. He's lethal coming in on that right foot. He scores all types of goals, that was a long-range strike which was second to none at a big moment for us so I'm delighted with him."
On selection headaches: "Those are the headaches you want. Leaving Harvey out and other players in this game was very, very difficult but it what you're paid to do. All you want then is when the player enters the pitch to try and prove that he should try and start the next game."
On the impressive start: "The fixture list is never easy, every game in the Premier League is always difficult. Four points from Wolves and Bournemouth is good and we go away to Fulham next."
On unity in the squad: "It's the most important thing. The players, the supporters and ourselves as a group of staff coming together really tightly to win games for an unbelievable football club. We will continue to do that and fight really hard for everyone."

More from Wolves manager Gary O'Neil speaking to Sky Sports: "We have better depth, of course. The run is the run. The team should be judged on what they did for the whole of last season. I am sure we will overachieve what many people will expect of us this season.
"Everyone is desperate for our first win. That was close to being our best today. We have gone up against a side that have spent an awful lot of money and were in the Champions League. There are not a lot of teams that can go against Newcastle and look the most likely to win."

Image source, Getty ImagesWolves manager Gary O'Neil speaking to Sky Sports: "I think frustration is the right word. It is easy to feel down after results but the group gave everything. They showed loads of quality and I thought we probably edged it. I felt really comfortable and really dangerous. We know we are in a tough run of fixtures and playing teams that have real quality and we are being punished for every error.
"The second goal I am really disappointed with. Harvey Barnes is allowed to come inside and it's a fantastic finish. Nelson Semedo coming off was a big blow. He is really important to us so for him to come off was a big miss. The first one is a deflection but it can happen.
"We are not feeling sorry for ourselves. We had enough opportunities in the game. At 1-0 I thought we looked the most likely for a while and then we started to tired a bit. We were punished for things that can happen at Premier League level. It is a tough one to take because I really enjoyed what I saw from the team for large periods. I think what the fans saw was a lot of effort and good chances. A lot there to stand us in good stead."

Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle manager Eddie Howe speaking to Sky Sports: "Massive win for us. Away from home we have questions to answer and that is a big step forward for us."
On his half-time changes: "I wasn't totally satisfied and the lads know they have to perform. We have the ability to make those changes. I have to credit the players who came on. Everyone played their part and it is a massive win.
"I got the sense [of urgency] at the start of the half and then there was bit of a lull and Fabian's goal injected confidence. It took a moment of real class from Harvey and then we had cramp and all of those battling qualities at the end to get over the line."
On Newcastle's start to the season: "I think we are stepping forward in terms of our performances. I think it was a step in the right direction.
"We can improve in lots of different aspects and that is what we are going to be working on this week. We are a really tight-knit group and we have to remain that way."

I don't think the hierarchy helped Eddie Howe.
I think a club like Newcastle should be attracting big players. If you want to go and get Marc Guehi, Newcastle should have paid the money to Crystal Palace to get him.
It didn't happen, it might happen again in January or in the summer but credit Eddie Howe. He hasn't moaned about it, he has just got on with it and it is another fantastic result.

Newcastle scored two goals from outside the box in the same Premier League game for the first time since April 2018 against Leicester City (Ayoze Perez and Jonjo Shelvey).

Wolves
Wolves midfielder Mario Lemina speaking to Premier League Productions: "I don't know what to say, we had the chances to score goals. We didn't and they scored from far, they had luck. The first one was flicked by our defender. The game changed.
"I'm really unhappy. We have to get back to work and get back to what we have to do and be resilient. They had the luck in the second half, we didn't.
"We need to change this losing mentality and get back to work and win games now.
On the positives: "We fought a lot, it's not about the performance of the players. Sometimes it is about luck and we didn't have it but we need to create more chances to have luck. We need to really work hard and get three points in the next game. We played really well in this game. Congratulations to them."

There were encouraging signs from Wolves today, they were 1-0 up and without the Fabian Schar deflected strike, they maybe could have held on.
I'm looking at Jorgen Strand Larsen. He needs to get the goals. I'm thinking Matheus Cunha is a good player who will get you goals. Hwang Hee-chan will get you goals, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde as well but they need that number nine Strand Larsen to step up and get goals.
It's still early, only four games in. I don't think Gary O'Neil will be pressing the panic button just yet.

Newcastle United
Newcastle defender Fabian Schar speaking to Sky Sports: "I think we started the game quite well and then we dropped off a little with our level and then at half-time said we needed to perform better. Two great goals and a big win when you are away from home and down. It is massive for us.
"We can play a lot better. At the moment it is great that we get the results and we need to be more consistent throughout the game. We want to go to the next level.
"We know the feeling of playing in European football but we are not there so we focus on the league. There is lots to achieve and I am looking forward to the season."

Newcastle United
Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes speaking to Sky Sports: "You could see we needed to improve on the first half and it was a big ask in the second half. We haven't hit the heights of last season but we are finding ways to win at the moment and that's important."
On his goal: "I caught it well! When the team is behind you have to take it on yourself to make a difference and I caught it lovely."
Where can Newcastle improve? "I think in a lot of areas. We pride ourselves on clean sheets and in our attacking play there were spells it's not quite clicking, We are getting there. It's a good start points-wise but performance wise we can improve."

Newcastle have won more than two of their opening four matches of a Premier League season for the first time since 2000-01.

All the substitutions who came on played a big part for Newcastle.
What a goal from Harvey Barnes to win a football match and that's why he should be starting.
All Barnes can do is keep producing performances like that because it's a wonder goal.

Wolves midfielder Andre completed all 40 of his passes before being substituted.
It is the most passes without misplacing a single one on record (since 2003-04) by a player on their first ever Premier League start.

I think the game could have gone either way.
Newcastle were the better in the first half in terms of possession but the longer the game went on, after their goal, they looked more dangerous.
This is the Premier League and the quality on display from Harvey Barnes for that winner was sensational.

Wolves will feel hard done by and they created enough chances to take at least a point. There is enough quality to end the winless start but with Aston Villa, Liverpool and Manchester City on the horizon they needed to capitalise on a below-par Newcastle.
The Magpies were far from convincing - and they will be under no illusions improvement is needed - but Eddie Howe's changes, including introducing matchwinner Harvey Barnes, ultimately paid off.
FT: Wolves 1-2 Newcastle
In case you just joined us, Mario Lemina gave Wolves the lead but then two strikes from outside the box from Fabian Schar and Harvey Barnes in the space of five minutes gave Newcastle all three points.
How 'brilliant' Newcastle substitutes turned game against Wolves
Harvey Barnes' stunning strike maintained Newcastle's unbeaten start after the Magpies came from behind to win at Wolves.
The winger, on as a substitute, curled in from 20 yards with 10 minutes left soon after Fabian Schar had levelled.
Mario Lemina's first goal since February gave the hosts the lead but Gary O'Neil's side remain winless from their opening four games.
Newcastle started strongly and Wolves keeper Sam Johnstone tipped Jacob Murphy's shot over after the winger burst through, prompting an animated discussion between O'Neil and defender Craig Dawson.
The visitors continued to make the early running and Anthony Gordon hit the post when he ghosted past Nelson Semedo and nutmegged Yerson Mosquera.
But Wolves settled and Lemina put them ahead nine minutes before half-time, sweeping in Jorgen Strand Larsen's cross after Joao Gomes' cute dummy.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe had seen enough and sent on Barnes, Sandro Tonali and Joe Willock for Alexsandar Isak, Sean Longstaff and Joelinton at the break.
Yet the changes failed to have an immediate impact and, after Johnstone saved Bruno Guimaraes' strike, Strand Larsen came close to doubling Wolves' lead when he hit the post after 52 minutes.
Nick Pope denied Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha but Schar levelled with 15 minutes left when his 30-yard effort clipped Craig Dawson and flew in before Barnes' superb goal won it.
Pope denied Cunha a stoppage-time leveller and Barnes could have added a third for Newcastle, only to dink wide with just Johnstone to beat.
MOTD 2: Debate and analysis on the 'disappearance' of long range goals
At the end of the transfer window Eddie Howe did not argue about his squad being weaker than this time last year.
The free transfer of Lloyd Kelly from Bournemouth and arrivals of young forward William Osula and goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos did little to excite, especially after the failed pursuit of Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.
Fastforward two weeks and Newcastle are unbeaten, third in the early Premier League table and being serenaded off the Molineux pitch by the travelling fans after a comeback win.
At times Newcastle were underwhelming but a piece of brilliance from Barnes took the points and there was a clear sense of unity at the final whistle.
That unity has been in question after a disappointing window and the arrival of Paul Mitchell as sporting director, who criticised the club's previous transfer strategy as "unfit for purpose."
The TV cameras kept cutting to Mitchell in the stands but Howe, who has denied any internal problems, has been able to stamp out any alternative narrative with an unbeaten start.
Wolves 1-2 Newcastle: Eddie Howe reaction
Wolves boss Gary O'Neil may feel like a broken record after a narrow defeat.
It may be four winless games to open the Premier League season but it was another performance which promised enough to suggest there will not be long-term problems.
Yet, with Aston Villa, Liverpool, Brentford and Manchester City awaiting in the Premier League, time may not be on their side should the rough patch continue into October.
O'Neil says Wolves remain the underdogs in the Premier League and they need time to settle following the end of the transfer window.
There is enough quality in the Wolves squad - and they have more depth than last season - to dig themselves out of any future hole they may find themselves in.
Striker Strand Larsen has shown glimpses, midfielder Andre had an bustling full debut and keeper Johnstone will prove a shrewd buy from Crystal Palace.
Wolves do need to arrest their disappointing start but no-one is hitting the panic button yet.
