Hwang Hee-chan scored twice to inspire Wolves to their first home win of the season against beleaguered Newcastle, who remain without a victory this term.

The game sparked into life after 20 minutes, when Hwang latched on to Raul Jimenez's through ball before finishing coolly beyond the onrushing Karl Darlow.

Jeff Hendrick fired Newcastle level with a long-range drive into the bottom corner - moments after Francisco Trincao had rattled the crossbar for Wolves at the other end.

Jose Sa had to be on his toes to deny Allan Saint-Maximin from point-blank range within minutes of the restart, but Hwang's left-footed finish - from another Jimenez pass - restored the home side's lead.

Newcastle slip into the bottom three after a seventh league game without a win, while Wolves climb into the top half.

Afterwards, Toon boss Steve Bruce said: "We got back into the game. After we scored, we had the big chance in the second half and unfortunately didn't take it.

"We are all pleased Raul Jimenez is back but the second goal was a bit too easy for my liking.

"l feel like a long playing record at the minute.

"Whoever you are in the Premier League, if you haven't won in seven games we all know the drill. We all know what comes.

"It's not easy. It still disappoints you and upsets you. I look at myself straight away. Can we do better? We'll keep looking at it and working on it."
