Wolverhampton twice came from behind Saturday to draw 2-2 at home against Newcastle, which has failed to win its last two Premier League games that have come after midweek Champions League matches.
Callum Wilson scored a first-half double for Newcastle, including a contentious penalty, to move to seven goals from just nine appearances in the Premier League but it was not enough against a determined Wolves, who seemed to take inspiration from a sense of injustice in a feisty second half.
Wilson, starting in place of the injured Alexander Isak, acrobatically capitalized on goalkeeper Jose Sa’s error to put Newcastle in front after 22 minutes but Mario Lemina headed the hosts level with his first goal for the club 14 minutes later.
Wolves then fumed when referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot on the stroke of halftime, with minimal apparent contact when Hwang Hee-chan was guilty of a loose touch in his own box and Fabian Schar went down as he stepped in to take possession.
