Jamie Reuben has thanked Newcastle United fans after Eddie Howe's side made a perfect start to the new season. The Magpies produced a dominant performance to register a comfortable home win over Nottingham Forest.
Eddie Howe handed Nick Pope his black-and-white debut from the start, while Sven Botman made his first competitive outing for United as a late substitute. Newcastle were in control throughout the first-half, but were unable to put visiting goalkeeper Dean Henderson under any real pressure prior to the interval.
It took a stunning long-range strike from Fabian Schar to break the deadlock. The Swiss international advanced towards the corner of the box before beating Henderson at his near post with a thunderbolt.
