Newcastle United moved one point off Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League places after Alexander Isak scored a stoppage-time penalty to beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 at the City Ground.
A breathless 90 minutes was ultimately decided by goals from Isak in injury time of either half after VAR controversially ruled out Elliot Anderson's header for offside.
An uncharacteristic error from Sven Botman saw Forest take the lead in the 26th minute through a well-taken Emmanuel Dennis finish. Eddie Howe would have been preparing for a 'what might have been' half-time team talk until Isak's stunning acrobatic volley moments before the break saw the two sides head down the tunnel level.
