Star Man
He didn't get himself on the scoresheet, but summer signing Allan Saint-Maximin caused all sorts of problems for Wolves' defenders.
The 22-year-old offered a huge threat in behind Wolves' back three, while Saint-Maximin also impressed by dropping deeper and carrying the ball through midfield to support Joelinton and
Saint Maximin has been quality so far, some player #NUFC

Saint-Maximin is a baller you know

Don’t wanna jinx anything but Jetro Willems and Allan Saint-Maximin might be the best left hand side to ever grace the beautiful game

Wolverhampton Wanderers
Key Talking Point
Against a side who have had just two shots on target in their last three games prior to kick-off, Wolves didn't take the game by the scruff of the neck like many fans had hoped for and instead showcased exactly what's meant by a 'Europa League hangover'.

adama traore is some baller⚽

Looking Ahead
While most sides will be looking ahead to mid-week in the Carabao Cup, Newcastle United will be given a full week's rest ahead of their trip to West Ham next weekend.
Wolves, meanwhile, prepare for their third of four away games across all competitions in the Carabao Cup against Aston Villa. Nuno Espírito Santo's side then face a trip to Arsenal, a team they haven't beaten on the road since 1980.
