The win marked the club's first Premier League victory of the season, ending a run of three winless matches. Woltemade's goal came from a bullet header after Jacob Murphy's cross in the first half.

Howe praised Woltemade for adapting quickly to the English top flight, saying he was "very pleased" with the 23-year-old former Stuttgart forward's performance. Woltemade's goal was a highlight of the match, and he was also praised for his understanding of the team's tactics.

Woltemade's arrival at Newcastle came in a club-record deal worth 69 million pounds, replacing Alexander Isak who joined Liverpool in a British-record move. Another new signing, winger Yoane Wissa, is still waiting for his Newcastle debut after suffering a knee injury on international duty.

Woltemade appeared to fit seamlessly with Newcastle's existing front line, linking up well with Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy. Howe said that the team will look at the possibility of Woltemade and Wissa combining well in attack, but for now, the focus is on building on the win.

Newcastle survived an early barrage from Wolverhampton, with Nick Pope making a brilliant save from Rodrigo Gomes and Hwang Hee-chan inside the opening minute. The win was a welcome boost for the team, and they will look to build on this momentum in their next match against Barcelona in the Champions League.

Howe said that the win was a relief, but the team would love to win in a better style and score more goals. He praised the team's defense, saying that they are "defending well as a team".

With the win, Newcastle will host Barcelona in their Champions League opener on Thursday, looking to build on this momentum and make a strong start to the competition.
