"Nick Woltemade scored the winner on his Newcastle United debut as they beat Wolves 1-0 at St James Park, earning their first victory of the Premier League season. Woltemade, who arrived from Bundesliga side Stuttgart in a €90m (£69m) deal ahead of Alexander Isak's move to Liverpool, was included from the off by Eddie Howe, though fellow arrival Yoane Wissa was out injured. And the Germany international hit the ground running, nodding Jacob Murphy's inviting cross home after evading Emmanuel Agbadou in the 29th minute."
"Woltemade wasted no time in endearing himself to the St James' Park faithful, becoming just the third German to score on his Premier League debut. Previously, only Jurgen Klinsmann, for Tottenham in August 1994, and Ilkay Gundogan, for Manchester City in September 2016, had achieved that feat. His header came from an excellent cross from Murphy, who has recorded 19 open-play assists in the Premier League since the start of last season, second only to Mohamed Salah (19)."
Nick Woltemade scored the winner on his Newcastle United debut, nodding Jacob Murphy's cross home in the 29th minute to give Newcastle a 1-0 victory over Wolves at St James' Park. Woltemade arrived from Bundesliga side Stuttgart in a €90m (£69m) deal ahead of Alexander Isak's move to Liverpool, while fellow arrival Yoane Wissa was injured. Wolves threatened early through Rodrigo Gomes and Hwang Hee-chan, and Sandro Tonali struck the foot of the post on the stroke of half-time. Wolves failed to register a shot on target after the interval and remain without a Premier League point this season. Newcastle now turn attention to a Champions League opener against Barcelona.
