Jamie Carragher has lauded Eddie Howe's Newcastle for their "intensity," a trait formerly associated with his beloved Liverpool.
The Magpies secured a dramatic 2-1 win away to Nottingham Forest on Friday, as Aleksander Isak's stoppage-time penalty boosted their hopes of playing Champions League football. They're in a battle with Liverpool to finish in the top four and while they're only fifth behind Tottenham, Newcastle now sit five points ahead of Jurgen Klopp's side with 12 Premier League games to go.
Although they had to come from behind to secure their second successive victory before the international break, it was a hugely satisfying night for Howe and co, who've impressed Liverpool legend Carragher all season. "The thing that really impresses me is their actual running power," the former Reds defender told Sky Sports post-match.
