It was the striker’s fourth goal since joining the club on loan from West Brom and proved pivotal in turning the game in favour of the visitors.
It was Newcastle’s first win in four matches to ease their relegation worries against David Wagner’s side – who themselves will look for a run of results over Christmas to get them away from the dropzone.
Wolves, meanwhile, are up to seventh place as Raul Jimenez’s 12th minute goal and Ivan Cavaleiro’s 94th minute effort wrapped up a 2-0 win at Molineux that condemned Bournemouth to a sixth defeat in their last seven games.
The opening goal of the game came from an unforced error, when some sloppy play at the back led to Diogo Jota latching onto a loose pass.
