Newcastle and Wolves play out draw as Martin Dubravka makes costly error and Sean Longstaff sees red

The clash got off to a slow start but the Magpies went a goal up just before half-time through Jamaal Lascelles’ bullet header.

However, Wolves shook off the cobwebs brought on by the trip to Slovakia after the break and caused their opponents problems.

And they got a deserved equaliser when full-back Jonny volleyed the ball into the net after capitalising on a mistake from the usually dependable Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.

Sean Longstaff was sent off for a high tackle on Ruben Neves on 82 minutes.

And the visitors almost snatched the three points in stoppage-time but Matt Doherty’s glancing header bounced just wide.

To say the start of the match was low key would be an understatement.

Both sides offered very little in terms of quality with the only notable moment inside the first 30 minutes a knock to Diogo Jota following a robust challenge from Federico Fernandez – the Newcastle defender perhaps lucky to escape a yellow card for his actions.

However, the game kicked into life on 34 minutes when Miguel Almiron – still searching for his first Newcastle goal in Newcastle colours since moving to the north east in January – was put through on goal by Matty Longstaff.

But a heavy touch from the Paraguay international narrowed the angle for him and he poked the ball with his left foot into the side-netting.
