Howe Lauds Newcastle's Development After Wolves Win
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has praised his side's continued development following their impressive 2-1 victory over Wolves at St. James' Park. The Magpies bounced back from their disappointing draw with Bournemouth in midweek to secure their fourth league win of the season, maintaining their strong start to the campaign.
"We're still very much a work in progress," Howe said after the game, highlighting the team's progress since his arrival last year. "We are trying to build a team that can compete at the highest level, and that takes time. But I'm really pleased with the progress we've made, and I'm confident we can continue to improve."
Newcastle's performance against Wolves showcased their attacking potential and tactical flexibility. They opened the scoring through Callum Wilson, who continued his fine form, before Miguel Almirón doubled the lead with a stunning long-range strike. While Wolves managed to pull one back through Matheus Cunha, Newcastle held on to secure the victory.
Howe was particularly pleased with his team's ability to bounce back from conceding a goal. "We showed great resilience and character to see the game out," he said. "It's not easy to win in the Premier League, but we showed that we have the mental toughness to get the job done."
The victory against Wolves extends Newcastle's unbeaten run to four matches, putting them in a strong position as they approach the busy festive period. With a crucial clash against Arsenal looming next week, Howe is confident that his team can continue their momentum.
"We've got a big game against Arsenal next week, and we're going to need to be at our very best to get a result," he said. "But we're full of confidence and we're looking forward to the challenge."
Looking ahead, Newcastle's focus will now shift towards maintaining their upward trajectory. They have shown a clear commitment to building a formidable squad, with the potential for even greater success in the years to come. Howe's vision for the club is starting to take shape, and the future looks bright for the Magpies.
