Newcastle United came from behind and overcame another mid-game lull to come away with an eventual 2-1 win at a ground where they hadn't won since they were in the Championship.

It was a rollercoaster game for Newcastle fans. I didn't keep an eye on social media but going off the text messages I was getting - and indeed sending - emotions were running high throughout and they ran the gamut of the emotional spectrum.

The feelings of despair when we aren't playing well turn into criticism en-masse with fingers pointing at Eddie Howe's team selection, the tactics, players' body language etc. Even the ball boys aren't safe.

However that all changed instantly when a belter of a shot was unleashed from the right boot of Fabian Schar then taking just enough of a deflection off the head of Craig Dawson to loop the ball up and away from goalkeeper Sam Johnstone and hit the top corner of the onion bag.

Bruno Guimaraes hailed his team for never giving up

Suddenly the team's tails were up and the fans were back on board. The roar inside Molineux from the away end was deafening and it served to push the lads on to bag a winner just a few minutes later with another worldie from Harvey Barnes who pinged a 20-yard curling effort into the postage stamp - an unstoppable shot.

After the game, Newcastle captain posted the perfect message on X praising the team's never-say-die attitude.

"Victory for the team that never gives up!!!! Always for you, NUFC. Let's keep going, guys! What a comeback."

The Media are having a hard time with Newcastle's success this season

We can pull apart the performances, and the team selections and speculate on the perceived commitment of the players all we want, but the bottom line this season is that we are still picking up points so we're doing something right.

Undefeated, the best start to a season in years and sitting in third place in the league level on points with Arsenal in second. It's early days, sure, but right now we haven't really got a lot to complain about.

The media are hating it too, their desperate bid to unsettle the club with constant talk of a "civil war" to try and unsettle everyone clearly isn't working. Even after the victory Sky Sports tried to sour the mood in the interview with Eddie Howe at full time by asking about the supposed issues behind the scenes. Let. It. Go.
