The forest dominated the second half and a return looked at when Nikola Milenkovic ran to Reds’ second before Ryan Yates fell home in the first minute of the break, but Toon was able to keep the level with the fourth Manchesyer city.

Forest made the perfect start for the process when Hudson-Ooi chose Fabian Schar’s pocket before catching Nick Pope, who returned to Magpies’ goal after an injury, out with a nice shot from the range.
Visitors enjoyed much of the early occupation at Tyneside, but remained stunned by 13 minutes by Newcastle, starting with the first goal of the Miley Premier League in 23 minutes.

Two minutes later, the Magpies were ahead when a wonderful backhell sent Hall Clear to the left again, with the inferior cross of the English finally combined by Murphy.
He got even better not much later and Hall participated once again. The 20 -year -old’s cross from the left was believed to hit Ola Aina’s hand and, after a revision on the rim, a penalty was given. ISAK broke the ball under the waist that Matz Sels could not hold out rather than getting a hand on it.

And Toon did not happen there, as Isak is powered by Joe Willock before the finish of the Red-Cot Swedish Striker is diverted by Murrillo and over the sels on the back of the network.
The forest began in the second half, which much more intentionally, with Anthony Elanga being unable to jump high enough to stab closely before reducing the deficit through Milenkovic.
Former Newcastle Chris Wood striker for the goal was expelled from the center-back with a nice backheel, as Newcastle struggled to match the intensity they showed in the first half.

It looked as if they were able to keep their pencil two goals and hold on, but Yates-side-footed from close to creating a nervous finish.
The long side then believed they had a delayed penalty after a collision in the box, but the hosts did enough to finish a lost series of two games.
