Aleksandar Mitrovic scored the only goal as Newcastle reclaimed top spot in the Championship by beating Wolves. Jack Colback had a tame shot saved for the visitors early on, before Wolves'' Richard Stearman missed from six yards. Mitrovic, who somehow, (probably by feigning an injury) escaped being shown a second yellow card for a challenge on Wolves keeper Carl Ikeme, slotted Newcastle ahead from close range. In a second half of few chances and even less quality, Dave Edwards came closest to equalising when he headed into the side-netting.

Pre match standings:- Wolves 18th/35pts : Newcastle 2nd/63pts. . Plenty to play for in this 5:30 kick off as Wolves were hoping to leapfrog Brentford, Villa and Forest into 15 th place after their defeats earlier in the afternoon and with Brighton beating Burton Albion the Magpies had the chance to retake top spot. End of season 16/17- After drifting perilously close to the drop zone Wolves eventually finished 15th with 58 points. The Magpies finished the season as Champions with 94 points and were promoted to the Premier League along with Brighton and Huddersfield.
