Newcastle Secure First Win Of The Season Against Wolves
Newcastle United finally broke their early-season struggles by edging past Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at St James’ Park on Saturday, securing their first victory of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign.
The decisive moment arrived in the 29th minute when German international Nick Woltemade rose to head in a perfectly timed cross from Jacob Murphy, giving the Magpies a lead they managed to protect despite persistent Wolves attacks.
The goal highlighted Woltemade’s immediate impact at the club, having joined Newcastle in a record £65 million transfer.

The German striker filled the gap left by Alexander Isak, who missed the opening weeks and recently completed a £125 million move to Liverpool.
The victory brings much-needed relief for Newcastle and manager Eddie Howe, who commented on the importance of gaining early momentum:
“It’s a crucial win for us, especially after the difficult start. Nick’s goal was exactly what we needed to get back on track.”
Meanwhile, other Premier League results added intrigue at the top of the table:
Arsenal soared to first place with a 3-0 triumph over Nottingham Forest in Ange Postecoglou’s managerial debut. Martin Zubimendi, the £60 million signing from Real Sociedad, opened the scoring with a spectacular volley on 32 minutes.
Viktor Gyokeres doubled the lead from Eberechi Eze’s assist early in the second half, and Zubimendi completed the rout with a second goal. The win was achieved without key players William Saliba, Bukayo Saka, and much of the game without Martin Ødegaard or Declan Rice.
Bournemouth climbed to third following a 2-1 victory over Brighton, with Antoine Semenyo converting a penalty after Kaoru Mitoma had equalized for the visitors. Alex Scott had earlier put Bournemouth ahead.
Aston Villa drew 0-0 at Everton, keeping Jack Grealish quiet while failing to score themselves.
Leeds United suffered a late 1-0 defeat at Fulham due to a 94th-minute own goal by Gabriel Gudmundsson.
Sunderland maintained an unbeaten start with a goalless draw against Crystal Palace.
Looking ahead, Tottenham aim to match Arsenal’s nine points in their clash with West Ham, while Chelsea, with seven points from three matches, have a chance to top the table when they visit Brentford.
