What a gutting late winner for the Newcastle fans. The home support clad in black and white must have howled at the header from Wolves' defender-turned-attacking dynamo Matt Doherty, who nodded in the deflected save from Martin Dubravka in the third minute of injury time.

They simply compare expected output to actual output…
