Newcastle's winless start to the Premier League season stretched to seven games as Hwang Hee-chan’s first goals at Molineux heaped more pressure on Steve Bruce.
Hwang scored in each half to ensure Wolves edged a chaotic contest between two flawed teams, after Newcastle substitute Jeff Hendrick had equalised in controversial fashion shortly before the interval.
Bruce has been under pressure for virtually his entire reign at St James’ Park and an opening sequence of three points from seven matches will improve supporters’ spirits.
The South Korean scored the winner early in the second-half at a jubilant Molineux
