Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest
Newcastle hold on to get back to winning ways with a thrilling 4-3 victory over Nottingham Forest at St James’ Park, despite a late comeback by the visitors. They led 4-1 at the break, after Forest took an early lead through Hudson-Odoi, but the home side responded quickly through Miley, before Murphy fired them ahead. Isak then scored a brace, the first coming from the penalty spot to make it 4-1 at the interval and it looked like they had the three points comfortably wrapped up. They almost made it five shortly after the restart when Schar struck the post with a header from a corner, but that’s as close as Newcastle came after the break. Forest were excellent in the second half, putting in a much better performance and capitalised on some sloppy play by Newcastle. They made it 4-2 just after the hour mark through Milenkovic and then had several chances to score more, with Murillo going closest with a header. The visitors kept up the pressure and were rewarded late on, with Yates grabbing a third on 90 minutes to make it 4-3, but then ran out of time to complete the comeback. This win moves Newcastle up to fifth in the table, ahead of their next game against Liverpool. Meanwhile Forest remain third and they’ll face Arsenal next time out. That’s all from us today, we hope you enjoyed the game!

Decent chance! Milenkovic is found in space in the penalty box and powers a header towards far corner of the net, but his aim is way off and it doesn't trouble Pope.

As it stands this victory will move Newcastle up to fifth, level on points with Man City who occupy the final Champions League spot, ahead of their game later on against Liverpool.

We're into the final 10 minutes of the game now, will we see anymore goals here? There's a nervy atmosphere inside St James' Park, despite Newcastle having a two-goal advantage as they've been poor in this second half.
