"Nick Woltemade scored for the fourth time in five starts as Newcastle United became the latest team to get the better of Ange Postecoglou's Nottingham Forest with a 2-0 win at St. James' Park on Sunday. The Germany international, who had earlier hit the bar, converted an 84th-minute penalty to add to Bruno Guimarães' opener as Postecoglou's seventh game at the Forest helm ended in defeat despite a battling performance on Tyneside. The result leaves Postecoglou in a precarious position heading into the international break -- Forest have not tasted victory since the Australian succeeded Nuno Espírito Santo."
"Former Newcastle goalkeeper Matz Sels turned in a fine individual display on his return to St. James' Park, saving smartly from Joelinton's early snapshot after Kieran Trippier had pulled the ball back for the Brazil international. The Forest keeper denied Joelinton for a second time after Sven Botman had headed a 15th-minute Trippier corner back across goal, but Nick Pope had to parry a well-struck Morgan Gibbs-White free-kick five minutes later."
Newcastle United defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 at St. James' Park with Bruno Guimarães opening the scoring and Nick Woltemade converting an 84th-minute penalty.
