Eddie Howe hailed his Newcastle United stars after an opening day win over Nottingham Forest. The Magpies pulled off a 2-0 win over the newly promoted side thanks to goals from Fabian Schar and Callum Wilson.
And they sent a full house home happy with three opening day points. Howe said: “I'm feeling very positive after watching that – I thought the players were excellent from start to finish. It was a performance of real promise.
"I’m always going to push the players for more – I said at that half-time, we had produced a very positive performance until the last action. We need to be more ruthless as we know tough this league can be.”
