Newcastle United failed to capitalise on possession as they were held to a drab 0-0 draw by Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. Despite controlling the ball and pushing for a win that would have lifted them into the top five, Newcastle lacked creativity and a cutting edge in the final third.
Wolves defended with discipline and looked comfortable, continuing their recent improvement under Rob Edwards. Newcastle rarely troubled José Sá, with Eddie Howe admitting his side missed quality and moments of brilliance. Wolves had limited attacking threat themselves but secured a deserved clean sheet, highlighting their growing resilience while Newcastle showed they still fall short of Champions League level.
