Head coach Steve Cooper was left frustrated by some poor decision-making from his side as Nottingham Forest lost 2-1 to Newcastle United at the City Ground.
Emmanuel Dennis had opened the scoring for the hosts with an exquisite finish after 26 minutes. But the Reds had been riding their luck and were pegged back just before the break.
The woodwork had twice come to Forest’s rescue in the first half, and they had VAR to thank in the second when Elliot Anderson’s effort was ruled out for offside. There was no arguing with the handball by Moussa Niakhate in added time, however, and Alexander Isak took the opportunity to win it from the spot at the death with his second of the match.
