Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has heaped praise on Newcastle United's character after coming from behind to beat Nottingham Forest. Emmanuel Dennis gave the hosts the lead following a mistake from Sven Botman, with Alexander Isak restoring parity on the brink of half-time.
Elliot Anderson thought he'd given the Magpies the lead in the second-half but it was chalked off in bizarre fashion after VAR adjudged Sean Longstaff to be offside in the build-up, despite two Forest players hitting the ball off him. Paul Tierney awarded the Toon a late penalty after Moussa Diakhate handled the ball.
After some gamesmanship, Isak converted from the spot to wrap up all three points in a big win for the Magpies heading into the international break.
