In fact, walked a little close to the line at times. Jonjo Shelvey: Didn’t hold back against his former club. Wasn’t particularly easy at times and he had his work cut out. Renan Lodi: Newcastle made for tough opponents and kept the Brazilian busy. Was good to see him back involved, but perhaps wasn’t 100 percent sharp. Moussa Niakhate: Can have no complaints over the penalty decision. Made some positive runs from the back, too. Rating: 6.5/10įelipe: Threw himself in front of absolutely everything, including making a big block late on. Chipped in with an important late last-ditch clearance. Serge Aurier: Will have breathed a sigh of relief when VAR intervened, after Anderson had beaten him in the air. Keylor Navas: Made a couple of excellent stops in the second half and was composed with the ball at his feet. Here’s how Reds reporter Sarah Clapson rated the Forest players at the City Ground. The Magpies then had a goal ruled out for offside after VAR intervened, but they won it added time when Isak thumped in a penalty after a handball by Moussa Niakhate. Keylor Navas produced a couple of big saves to keep out Elliot Anderson and Bruno Guimaraes after the restart. Just when it looked as though Steve Cooper’s side would go in at the break in front, they were punished for switching off for a second when Isak acrobatically connected with a cross to level in added time.

Under pressure from Andre Ayew, Sven Botman’s loose back-pass was pounced upon by Emmanuel Dennis. But having come through a spell of pressure, they took the lead courtesy of an exquisite finish. 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. 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.
