Mario Lemina's 36th-minute opener was canceled out by Fabian Schar's long-range strike 15 minutes from time, before Barnes smashed home from 25-yards out.
Super sub Harvey Barnes scored a screamer as Newcastle United came from behind to secure a 2-1 Premier League-win away to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium on Sunday (September 15). Mario Lemina's 36th-minute opener was canceled out by Fabian Schar's long-range strike 15 minutes from time.
Newcastle manager Eddie How introduced Barnes in place of Alexander Isak at the interval and the midfielder scored the winner from 25-yeards out in the 80th-minute. The Englishman cut inside from the left, got past Matt Doherty, and unleased a powerful right-footed strike into the top right corner. It was the 26-year-old's second goal of the season from four appearances.

— Newcastle United FC (@NUFC)Wolves took the lead courtesy of a well-worked team goal in the first-half. Jorgen Strand-Larsen was released down the right channel and the Norwegian's low cross found Lemina at the far post following a clever little dummy from Joao Gomes. The Gabonese footballer comfortably slotted home from close range.
In the 75th-minute, Newcastle leveled the score through a stunning long-range strike from centre-back Fabian Schar. The 32-year-old's shot from 30-yards out deflected off Craig Dawson's head and went into the back of the net.
The result helped Newcastle to record their best start to the Premier League in 29-years. The Magpies have registered three wins and one draw from their first four games and are sitting at the third spot in the English top flight standings.
