NICK WOLTEMADE’S debut goal earned Newcastle’s first win of the season against Wolves on Saturday.
The striker did his best to make Newcastle fans forget the departed Alexander Isak with an immediate impact in a 1-0 win for the home side at St. James’ Park.
The giant German international powered home a header from Jacob Murphy’s cross for the only goal on 29 minutes.
Eddie Howe’s men badly missed a focal point up front before the international break as Isak sat out the opening weeks of the season before his British transfer record £125 million (€144 million) move to Liverpool on deadline day.
Woltemade himself cost a club record £65 million (€75 million) but has already begun repaying that show of faith.
Bournemouth moved up to third thanks to Antoine Semenyo’s winner from the penalty spot to beat Brighton 2-1.
