Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Newcastle secure their second home win of the season with a 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest. The Magpies were initially made to work for the three points, having headed into the break with the score level, but the hosts stepped up another level in the second half to run out deserved winners. Guimaraes opened the scoring with a delightful right-footed shot from range on 58 minutes after receiving the ball from Burn in the Forest half. The goal looked to have knocked the stuffing out of the visitors, who had been competitive across the opening 45 minutes, but struggled to establish an attacking outlet after the break. Newcastle then doubled their lead from the penalty spot after their former midfielder Anderson surrendered possession in his own penalty area before mistiming his challenge on Guimaraes with eight minutes of normal time remaining. Striker Woltemade stepped up and duly added their second with a wonderful penalty in the top left corner, maintaining his run of scoring in every Newcastle home game. The Magpies finished with a whopping 3.05 xG to their name, while Forest recorded just 0.27. Newcastle now look to an away meeting with Brighton after the international break, while Forest host Chelsea at the City Ground. That’s all for this one, thanks for joining!
