Spectacular finish as supersub Sean Neave turns it around for Wolves with his first ever goals

4 Nov 2026 - 22:36

What a night for Newcastle United teenage loan star Sean Neave at Wolves.

A Wednesday night he will never forget.

With Wolves chasing promotion back to the Premier League and still with much of the squad that was relegated from the top tier, Sean Neave has found it difficult to get much time on the pitch in the Championship.

Sitting on the bench once again tonight, the 19-year-old Newcastle United fan watched on as Wolves trailed 1-0 to Bristol City.

Nine minutes later and Neave’s former United teammate Kieran Trippier volleyed a cross in from the right, fellow Newcastle fan and former NUFC striker Adam Armstrong saw his first-time shot saved, only for Sean Neave to pounce and net the rebound.

A first ever goal in senior football for Sean Neave and earning Wolves a valuable point.

However…with only one minute of normal time remaining, Wolves captain Kieran Tripper put in a free-kick, Ladislav Krejci headed it back across goal and Sean Neave headed the winner!

I am so pleased for him.

The Geordie teenager from Winlaton has had to bide his time and keep working hard in training, his first ever goals in senior football.

Sean Neave has still only played 153 minutes of Championship football but now has two goals and an assist.

Thanks to their loan striker, Wolves move up to second in the table and Middlesbrough now only a point ahead of them.
