A close-range finish from Jonny ensured Wolves fought back to earn a battling point against Newcastle at St James’ Park.
Spaniard Jonny volleyed home from six yards after goalkeeper Martin Dubravka had fumbled Matt Doherty’s cross into his path to cap a much-improved second-half display from Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
Magpies captain Jamaal Lascelles scored the opener with a powerful near-post header from Federico Fernandez’s cross to light up what had been a largely dour first half.
Newcastle ended the game with 10 men when midfielder Sean Longstaff was sent off late on for a high challenge on Ruben Neves.
Doherty very nearly secured all three points for Wolves in stoppage time, but his header across goal from Raul Jimenez’s cross flashed just wide.
