Hwang Hee-chan (30, Wolverhampton) started and diligently played on the ground, but failed to shoot a scoring shot.
Wolverhampton drew 0-0 at home in the 22nd round of the "2025-2026 English Premier League" against Newcastle at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England on the 18th (Korea time).
Wolverhampton, which has been undefeated in five games (2 wins and 3 draws), continued to be at the bottom of the league with eight points (1 win, 5 draws and 16 losses). Newcastle finished eighth in the league with 33 points (9 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses).
Hwang Hee-chan started as a front-line two-top striker in the 3-5-2 formation. He played about 86 minutes until he was replaced in the 41st minute of the second half. He constantly moved and played devotedly on both sides of offense and defense, but failed to score an offensive point.
"Hwang Hee-chan played hard, but he lacked a scene that led to a threatening shot," the BBC said. "Hwang Hee-chan had good chemistry with Mane, who formed a two-top together," Birmingham Mail said. "The penetration into the back space in the early part of the first half was sharp, but it was a pity that his influence decreased more and more."
Hwang Hee-chan, who was sluggish last season, has rarely played this season, but has recently been in good shape. In the 20th round of the EPL against West Ham on the 4th, which was the first game of the new year, he scored one goal and one assist to lead the victory. He then assisted the first goal in the Shrewsbury and the English Football Association (FA) Cup on the 10th, contributing to a great victory. This season, Hwang Hee-chan has two goals and three assists in 21 official games.
Newcastle's dominance was expected on the day, but Wolverhampton's counterattack was also not easy. In the first half, Newcastle took a high ball possession but did not score a single shot on goal. On the other hand, Wolverhampton launched a sharp counterattack starting with João Gómez's pass. Mane and Bueno shot a threatening scene.
Newcastle increased their offensive in the second half with Elanga and Wisa deployed by Newcastle. In particular, in the 39th minute of the second half, there were decisive shots from Guimarangis and Joelinton, but Wolverhampton's goalkeeper Juzsa overcame the crisis with a series of super saves.
Wolverhampton tried to score the winning goal with Larsen right before the end of the game, but his shot in the second half was blocked by the defensive wall. In the end, the match ended in a 0-0 draw.
