"A first half to forget The first half was cagey with little in the way of invention or clear-cut chances. Each side had one decent opportunity: Joelinton seeing a far-post header palmed away by Matz Sels while Chris Wood ought to have done better than let the ball cannon off his knee after he had been found in space by Morgan Gibbs-White's low cross."
"Newcastle started to boss proceedings after the break. They should've gone in front after 51 minutes. Morato made a mess of clearing Antony Gordon's cross, laying it on a plate for Woltemade six yards out only for the defender to get up and block the German's shot. Forest unhappy with Guimaraes goal The goal came six minutes later. A Forest break was stopped in robust fashion by Guimaraes who went in strongly on Gibbs-White."
Nottingham Forest lost 2-0 at Newcastle, with Bruno Guimaraes scoring and Nick Woltemade sealing victory from a late penalty. Forest showed improved defensive organisation compared with the recent 3-2 defeat to Midtjylland but failed to create clear chances in a cagey first half. Newcastle dominated after the break, missed a number of opportunities and gained the lead after a robust challenge by Guimaraes led to a curling finish. Postecoglou introduced Callum Hudson-Odoi, Igor Jesus and Omari Hutchinson in an attempt to change the game, but the substitutions made little difference. Forest sit one point above the relegation zone.
