Newcastle United staged a remarkable comeback from a halftime deficit, scoring two long-range goals within five minutes to secure a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Sunday. This win propelled Newcastle into third place in the Premier League.
Fabian Schar's speculative shot took a deflection to level the score after Wolves captain Mario Lemina's 36th-minute goal had given the hosts the lead at halftime, as they sought their first league win of the season. While Schar's 75th-minute goal might have had an element of fortune, there was no denying the brilliance of Harvey Barnes' spectacular winner just five minutes later.
Both goals were scored from outside the penalty area, dramatically altering the game's outcome after Wolves had largely controlled the match. Wolves remain in the bottom three with just one point from their opening four fixtures, while Newcastle now have 10 points, trailing second-placed Arsenal on goal difference and two points behind leaders Manchester City.
