Wolves picked up a fantastic win in the Championship today as they bounced back in style from their 4-0 defeat v Barnsley in midweek.
They travelled to Newcastle United expected to be the latest team to succumb to Rafa Benitez’s men.
However, they did not read the script and ended up winning the game 2-0 – with an own goal from Chancel Mbemba and a Helder Costa strike proving the difference.
The game also saw Wolves boss Walter Zenga hand a debut to Moroccan international Romain Saiss.

The 26-year-old holding midfielder put in an assured display and received praise from Zenga after the game. He told the club’s official website:
“Romain Saiss gave to us balance – he is calm, concentrated, and will be an important player for us.
“But I want to compliment every one of the starting eleven and everyone in the squad.
“There was no one player today who didn’t give 200 per cent.”
Saiss arrived in the summer from French side Angers in a deal reported by the Express and Star to be in the region of £3 million.
But he has had to wait for his chance to shine and it would certainly appear that he has managed to that in this fixture.
Wolves will be hoping for similar future performances from their new signing as they look to challenge for promotion this season.
