Wolverhampton Wanderers have made quite a splash on their return to the Premier League this season - and their penchant for late goals continued last night in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle.
After a mistake from Wolves' goalkeeper Rui Patricio, Newcastle took the lead through an Isaac Hayden effort and Rafa Benitez' men appeared likely to weather a late storm from their hosts - until Willy Boly capitalised upon another goalkeeping blunder, this time from Martin Dúbravka, to nod Wolves level deep into added time.
Wolves have now scored FIVE Premier League goals in additional time at the end of games this season - more than any other team in the top flight.

Such belief has helped propel the Midlanders to seventh in the Premier League table - Wolves having won 11, drawn 6 and lost 9 games in the top tier in 2018/19.
Next up, Wanderers turn their attention to the FA Cup - their trip to Bristol City this Sunday promising to be a tough test, with the Championship side unbeaten in all competitions so far in 2019.
