Rate the Newcastle United players for performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers

Now it is your turn to have a say on Newcastle United’s 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Miguel Almiron was the hero late on to snatch all three points at St James’ Park - a result that ended the Magpies’ five-game winless run in the Premier League.

The victory moved Newcastle up to fifth, with two games in hand on fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur. Jubilant Toon supporters chanted Almiron’s name in celebration at the full-time whistle as Eddie Howe’s men ground out a much-needed win.

While the Paraguayan will grab the headlines, Alexander Isak received the highest score in our post-match player ratings with a nine out of 10. The Swede broke the deadlock with a power header in the first half and ran the Wolves backline ragged all afternoon.

Much of the pre-match discussion centred around whether Howe will start Isak or trusted lieutenant Wilson. The decision to start the £58million man was vindicated after just 26 minutes.

There were also a lot of eights dished out, with Nick Pope, with seven Newcastle players receiving that score. However, ChronicleLive readers always have the final word - and can cast their verdict using our widget below.
