Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of Newcastle's Premier League clash with Wolves from St James' Park. To quote D:Ream, things have certainly got a great deal better in the north east after such a dismal start to the campaign. One defeat in six has helped the Magpies climb up to a lift 14th. Wolves were on a poor run of form themselves and after conceding first against Chelsea in midweek, they looked to be heading for a sixth defeat in seven league games. However, they turned the match on its head, providing them with a huge boost ahead of their trip to the north east. I'm Pete Hall, and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!

FT: Newcastle 1-2 Wolves. 10-man Newcastle almost held out, but Doherty broke hearts all over the north east with the last act of the game. Seven home defeats for Newcastle already this season, and we are not even into the new year. Thanks for joining us. Goodnight.
