Newcaslte stopped a second half of comeback from Nottingham Forest in an entertaining 4-3 victory in St James’ Park.
Callum Hudson-Odoi gave Forest an early lead before the Magpies Riot ran four goals 13 minutes by Lewis Miley, Jacob Murphy and two by Alexander Isak.
Forest dominated a lot of the second half and a comeback watched when Nikola Milenkovic finished in the second place of the Reds before Ryan Yates walked home from the stopping time in the first minute, but the tone could hold on to go on points with fourth placed manchesyer City.
The side of Nuno Espirito Santo remains third, but suffered their third defeat in four Premier League matches with their pursuit of Champions League football seems to be losing the momentum.
Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest
Forest made the perfect start to the procedure when Hudson-Odoi took the bag of Fabian Schar before he took Nick Pope, who returned to the goal of the Magpies after injury, with a nicely placed shot from the range.
The visitors enjoyed a large part of the early possession of Tyneside, but remained amazed by a 13-minute disaster through Newcastle, starting with the first Premier League goal of Miley of the season at 23 minutes.
After the ball was recycled by Lewis Hall, the young midfielder was allowed the space in the box to take a touch and end the goal in the far corner.

Two minutes later the magpies were ahead when a beautiful Isak -Backhell Hall sent again on the left, with the bent cross of the Englishman was eventually embedded by Murphy.
It was not long later and Hall was again seriously involved. The cross of the 20-year-old from the left was supposed to have taken Ola Aina’s hand and after an assessment of Pitch a penalty was given. Isak has broken the ball casually through the middle, where Matz Sels could not stay outside despite the fact that he had a hand.

And the tone was not done there because Joe Willock was fed by Joe Willock before the red -hot Swedish Spits’s finish remained from Murrillo and about Sels in the back of the net.
Forest started the second half, which was much more intention, in which Anthony Elanga was unable to jump high enough to stick up close before they reduced the shortage due to Milenkovic.
Former striker of Newcastle Chris Wood to the goal was diverted by the middle behind with a nice rear wheel when Newcastle struggled to match the intensity they showed in the first half.

It seemed that the tone was able to retain and retain their lead of two goals, but Yates side up close to set up a nervous finish.
The exterior then thought that they screamed a late penalty after a collision in the box, but the hosts did just enough to end a two-game series.
