Jesse Lingard endured a debut to forget as Nottingham Forest were comfortably beaten 2-0 by a confident Newcastle United side at St James' Park on Saturday.
The 29-year-old joined the Reds on a free transfer after leaving Manchester United at the end of last season and made his debut for his new club in the opening weekend defeat. It proved to be a frustrating day at the office for Lingard, as he failed to impress in the North East.
Goals from Fabian Schar and Callum Wilson earned the Magpies all three points as Forest lost their first game back in the top flight after a 23-year exodus. Steve Cooper named a number of new faces in his starting XI, including Harry Toffolo, Lewis O'Brien, Neco Williams and Dean Henderson.
