Nick Woltemade's debut goal earned Newcastle United's first win of the season against Wolves on Saturday.
The giant German international did his best to make Newcastle fans forget the departed Alexander Isak with an immediate impact in a 1-0 win for the home side at St. James' Park.
Woltemade powered home a header from Jacob Murphy's cross for the only goal on 29 minutes.
Eddie Howe's men badly missed a focal point up front before the international break as Isak sat out the opening weeks of the season before his British transfer record £125 million move to Liverpool on deadline day.
Woltemade himself cost a club record £65 million but has already begun repaying that show of faith.
