In a contest marred by 12 yellow cards being handed out by Stuart Attwell, Newcastle were able to bounce back after going down just before the break although their free-running style from their 6-0 win over Aston Villa was not quite as evident against Wolves.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, who scored the leveller against Everton last week, opened the scoring when he brought down a Jelle van Damme cross and hammered past Steve Harper to give the home side the lead in the 43rd minute.
But Andy Carroll, fresh off a hat-trick, continued his sparkling development by netting an equaliser just after the hour-mark. The 21-year old powered home a header from a inswinging Joey Barton cross to give his side a share of the points which put them 5th on the table as Wolves moved up to 4th.
