Wolves vs Newcastle: Wolves on Edge with Close Calls!!
**Close Calls and Near Misses: Wolves’ sam Johnstone Under Pressure from Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon**
In a tense first half, Wolves goalkeeper sam Johnstone had a couple of heart-stopping moments, narrowly avoiding disaster. Twice, Johnstone lingered a fraction too long while dealing with backpasses, giving Newcastle’s relentless winger Anthony Gordon just the opening he needed to surge forward. Gordon, quick on his feet and even quicker in thought, closed the distance in an instant, blocking Johnstone’s attempted clearance. Fortunately for Wolves, the ball ricocheted safely out of play, resulting only in a goal-kick.
But Gordon’s involvement didn’t stop there. As the game wore on, his energy continued to unsettle Wolves’ defense. In one stand-out moment, he received the ball on the edge of the box, spun sharply past a defender, and unleashed a powerful shot. Wolves’ Craig Dawson bravely threw himself into the line of fire, taking the full force of the strike to the data-face. It was a block that typified Wolves’ defensive resilience, but one that highlighted the constant threat posed by Gordon, whose energy and determination kept the pressure on throughout the half.
Though Newcastle were unable to break through, the signs of danger were clear. Gordon’s pace and persistence left Wolves thankful for their narrow escapes, but they will need to tighten up if they hope to keep him at bay for the rest of the match.
