Newcastle United fans could not hide their relief over what they saw as 'karma' as Alexander Isak scored a late penalty to see Eddie Howe's side beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 after Elliot Anderson's goal was bizarrely ruled out for by VAR for offside earlier in the match.
Goals from Isak in the dying moments of the first and second-half gave Newcastle a vital three points in their pursuit of Champions League football. The Magpies have now moved one point behind fourth-placed Tottenham with a game in hand on Antonio Conte's side.
Forest took the lead against the run of play after an uncharacteristic mistake from Sven Botman, but Isak ensured that the two sides went in level with a superbly taken acrobatic volley moments before the break.
