Newcastle reignited their hopes for European qualification with a 3-0 victory over Wolves - their first at St James' Park since before Christmas.

The Magpies' campaign had stalled in recent weeks, with just one win in their last four Premier League games and 12 goals conceded during that time.

But just a week after being thrashed at Arsenal, Eddie Howe's side produced a much-improved performance against Wolves, with Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon scoring before half-time.

Wolves went into the game one point and one place above Newcastle after collecting nine points from the last 12 available but were second-best throughout - and conceded a late third when Tino Livramento poked in his first Newcastle goal.

The result moves the hosts up to eighth, just four points behind sixth-placed Manchester United, while Wolves are two points and two places behind their hosts.
