Nottingham Forest’s nine-match unbeaten run at home in the Premier League came to an end as they were toppled 2-1 by Newcastle United.
The Reds survived a couple of early scares when Joe Willock blazed over from close-range and Renan Lodi flicked Alexander Isak’s effort on to the bar following a clever free-kick routine. But having come through a spell of pressure, they took the lead courtesy of an exquisite finish.
Under pressure from Andre Ayew, Sven Botman’s loose back-pass was pounced upon by Emmanuel Dennis. The forward lifted the ball over Nick Pope in superb fashion to make it 1-0 with 26 minutes on the clock.
