Wolves left it late before moving back into the Premier League's top half with a dramatic 2-1 win at ten-man Newcastle.

Matt Doherty was the goalscoring hero for the visitors, notching in injury-time to lift Nuno's men up to tenth.

Diogo Jota had earlier given Wolves the lead, only for Ayoze Perez to equalise but the match turned on a red card dished out to Newcastle right-back DeAndre Yedlin for a professional foul and Doherty made the extra man count.

Sky Bet cut 15th-placed Newcastle to 7-2 to be relegated, while Wolves are generally available at 8-15 to finish in the top ten.

Manchester City are the 2-5 title favourites and league leaders Liverpool can be backed at 11-4. The champions are 4-1 with bet365 to run out winners by at least ten points.

Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick for Liverpool in their 4-0 win at Bournemouth on Saturday and Betfred have responded by cutting him to 5-2 to retain the Golden Boot. Salah is on ten goals alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
