Nottingham Forest FC 2 - 3 Newcastle United FC
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:38
Newcastle claim a huge 3-2 win at Forest and climb back into the top seven! The Magpies avenge their home defeat to the same side but were really made to work for it. Howe's side led three times, with Guimaraes, who netted the opener, proving the matchwinner. Elanga cancelled out Guimaraes' first, then Hudson-Odoi responded to Schar's fine strike. Forest could not recover a third time when Guimaraes struck once more, however, and Newcastle held on. They will host Bournemouth next week, when Forest at home again against West Ham. That's all from this match. Thanks for joining us, and until next time, goodbye!
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:33
FULL-TIME: Nottingham Forest 2-3 Newcastle United
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:32
Barnes carries the ball the length of the pitch, tracked by Gibbs-White, and wins a throw-in right by the corner flag. Newcastle will hope to see the game out from here.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:30
A foul goes against Newcastle following a short corner, and Wilson picks up a clear yellow card for kicking the ball away.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:30
Guimaraes does superbly! He wins the ball in midfield, holds off a clear foul and plays Wilson, who is neck and neck with Murillo. The defender holds Wilson up but then, in tackling his opponent, smashes the ball behind for a corner.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:28
Gibbs-White goes close! It is far too chaotic for Newcastle's liking. Gordon tackles Gibbs-White but cannot play in Wilson, allowing Forest to respond. Elanga's low cross is just about cleared by Burn, before Gibbs-White shoots from outside the box and has Dubravka worried for a moment.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:28
Substitution Anthony Michael Gordon Emil Henry Kristoffer Krafth
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:27
There will be a minimum of six minutes of added time for Forest to find a third equaliser.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:26
Newcastle's away form was so poor in the first half of the season, but they are now a minute (plus stoppage time) away from a fourth consecutive away win in all competitions.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:24
Gibbs-White is a little lucky! He fouls Wilson, who is on the break for Newcastle, but only a foul is given. No card for the Forest midfielder, who has already been booked.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:23
Forest have the ball back, but they look to lack a little imagination. With Newcastle playing deeper, there is not the same space to exploit in behind.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:21
Now Newcastle have the ball again. The change in shape is allowing them to stretch the pitch and keep possession for a period, running down the clock.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:18
Livramento is introduced, but not in place of Burn. Miley is off, meaning a change in shape for Newcastle, who will likely go to a back five.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:18
Burn did not enjoy the stretched pattern of play in the first half, but he is everywhere now as Forest go for the aerial route. The giant left-back heads another cross away.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:17
It is all Forest now. Newcastle are going to have to do plenty of defending to protect this lead.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:15
Schar's poor pass is cut out, and the ball breaks for Reyna to shoot from outside the box. Botman gets his body in front of the ball, letting his centre-back partner off the hook.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:14
Forest make another change in the midfield as Danilo comes on for Dominguez.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:14
Dubravka does much, much better to meet a searching pass in behind the Newcastle defence from Murillo. Nuno Tavares is again the man advancing but cannot reach the ball before Dubravka dives out and gathers.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:13
Burn is up highest to meet a Forest corner, but Dubravka then punches when he might catch the second ball and will be grateful to see Dominguez's volley fail to trouble the target.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:13
The Forest substitutes are starting to cause problems. Reyna brings the ball down in the box and tees up Origi, whose shot strikes Botman and flies behind.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:11
Origi somehow escapes punishment for a blatant foul on Schar, instead winning a throw-in, which Niakhate can launch into the box. To the relief of Newcastle and perhaps the officials, it comes to nothing.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:09
Reyna is introduced for his Forest debut, adding creativity in place of Yates' industry.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:09
Nuno Tavares does superbly to skip between Guimaraes and Trippier and enter the box, standing up Schar on the left. But rather than look for a team-mate or take on the defender, the Forest man lashes a shot over the bar.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:08
Trippier's free-kick is just too high for Burn, but Newcastle recycle the ball and can build again. They need to rediscover their composure in what has been a frantic encounter.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:07
This is better from Newcastle as Guimaraes finds some space in the middle of the pitch and moves them forward. Gordon beats Murillo to the ball and wins a free-kick on the corner of the Forest box.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:05
Newcastle could use a period of calm now. A Trippier header almost puts them in trouble again, with Botman required to smash a clearance against Elanga and behind.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:03
Substitution Taiwo Micheal Awoniyi Divock Okoth Origi
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:02
Goal Bruno Guimarães Rodriguez Moura
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:02
Gordon, now playing on the right, works room for a shot from outside the area but blazes high into the stands.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:02
It is all getting a little heated. Newcastle feel they should have a corner when Longstaff's cross is blocked, then a Forest coach is booked by Taylor, apparently following extended complaints after the penalty appeal.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United19:00
There is a VAR check after Dubravka's challenge on Awoniyi, but it appears the forward more treads on the goalkeeper than contact in the oppositie direction. The officials decide there is no foul upon review.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:58
HUGE CHANCE! Forest want a penalty!
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:56
Substitution Miguel Ángel Almirón Rejala Harvey Lewis Barnes
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:56
Williams recovers brilliantly. A Forest corner is cleared only as far as the full-back, whose subsequent cross is poor. Newcastle break, with Wilson running through the middle, but Williams is back there to challenge.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:55
Yellow Card Sven Adriaan Botman
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:55
Yellow Card Morgan Anthony Gibbs-White
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:53
Guimaraes loses the ball, and Forest race back down the other end. Newcastle are able to escape with only a corner, which is taken short before Gibbs-White's cross deflects behind for another corner.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:53
It is Newcastle's turn to break at pace, with Wilson and Longstaff combining to set Trippier away on the right. He crosses towards Almiron, who is on his own after tangling with a defender, but the ball just clears the winger's head.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:50
Miley is bullied off the ball by Gibbs-White, and it runs for Nuno Tavares. But rather than build a potentially dangerous attack, the left-back cuts inside and shoots right-footed over the bar from 25 yards.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:50
Newcastle finally push Forest back the other way, with Guimaraes winning a challenge on the left wing but knocking the ball out of play. He celebrates towards the away end but draws jeers from those Forest supporters in front of him.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:47
OFFSIDE! Awoniyi has the ball in the net, but a delayed flag goes up! The Forest number nine gets in on the right and shoots high past Dubravka. However, a replay shows he was clearly offside despite the linesman delaying his decision.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:46
Newcastle's passing has been really sloppy at the start of this second half. They kept the ball with ease at times in the first period, but Forest are on top now.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:44
The ball bounces off Trippier's hand just outside the box, but referee Taylor gives a goal-kick to Newcastle as it goes behind. Hudson-Odoi wants either a penalty or a corner, with the fans behind the goal outraged, but the official is unmoved.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:43
There were no changes at the break, with Schar back out, having been furious with the referee at the end of the first half. He felt Yates' challenge on him shortly before Forest's second equaliser should have been punished.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:43
KICK-OFF: Yates gets the game back under way.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:34
It will be interesting to see if Newcastle make any half-time changes. Howe was criticised for not taking Burn off at the break against Luton, and he has struggled again. The Magpies midfield has perhaps left the defender too exposed, however.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:28
Newcastle matches tend to be entertaining, high-scoring affairs, and this one is no different. They have twice led and twice looked in a position to kick on and take complete control, but Forest have found a response. Guimaraes volleyed in from a Trippier cross, only for Elanga to race through and equalise. Schar lashed in a second for Newcastle, yet Hudson-Odoi's deflected strike has the sides level at half-time.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:26
HALF-TIME: Nottingham Forest 2-2 Newcastle United
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:24
Assist Nicolás Martín Domínguez
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:24
There is concern for Newcastle now as Schar carries the ball out of defence, then pulls up as he dribbles past Yates. Newcastle play on without one of their centre-backs but do not pay the price, with Botman standing up to Awoniyi.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:23
It is Newcastle's turn to exploit space behind the opposition midfield, with Longstaff feeding Guimaraes. He in turn moves the ball on to Wilson, but the forward cannot get beyond Niakhate for a clear sight of goal and instead prods harmlessly into the defender's shins.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:21
Forest looked vulnerable after conceding the first goal, but they have responded well to going behind again. Dubravka has to come from his line to take a Williams cross smartly.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:21
There will be a minimum of five minutes of added time at the end of the half.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:20
Forest want a penalty, with Elanga again causing the problems. He gets between Burn and Gordon as he enters the box but goes down very easily, and no foul is given.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:17
Assist Sven Adriaan Botman
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:16
Guimaraes loses out to Dominguez in the Forest half, and Hudson-Odoi seizes on the ball, again attacking at speed. He looks right to Elanga, but the winger is this time forced wide, then seeing his cross headed behind by Botman. Dubravka gathers the subsequent corner.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:14
A series of Forest set-pieces put Newcastle under pressure, but the visitors hold firm. Clearly, they are more vulnerable in open play.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:12
Murillo is back on the pitch after that short stoppage.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:10
Murillo, who went down briefly earlier in the game, now needs treatment, leading to a pause in the game.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:09
Forest are clearly looking to target Burn now. Sels thumps a long pass forward, and while most of the Forest players are on the back foot, Williams sets off in pursuit of Burn and very nearly gets there. The left-back is enduring a real tough time.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:07
Newcastle are committing men forward, but they are really struggling to halt Forest's breaks, which creates real danger. Nuno Tavares dances out of danger, then just overhits a pass to Elanga, who had isolated Burn again.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:06
Newcastle just need to regain their composure. Forest are on the front foot now. First, Burn's stretching header goes straight to Awoniyi, before Botman recovers. Then, Elanga gets down the right and crosses, with Gibbs-White's flick cleared by Trippier.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:03
This is a game Newcastle have controlled, and yet they have been undone in the same way in which they were at home in December. Gibbs-White finds space, those speedy attackers set off, and Newcastle's plodding defence cannot cope.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:00
GOOAAALLLL!!! ELANGA LEVELS! 1-1! This time, Elanga's pace pays!
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:00
Assist Morgan Anthony Gibbs-White
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United18:00
The Forest fans are furious as Schar appears to foul Awoniyi and yet avoids punishment. The Forest forward looks to be in some pain as the play continues around him. He, like Murillo, is able to continue.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:58
Almiron so nearly gets a touch! Wilson is challenged, but the ball breaks to Trippier, who deliversa cute cross towards Almiron. If the winger makes contact, it is surely a goal, as Sels advances off his line, but he cannot get there and the goalkeeper gathers.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:56
Murillo is moving uneasily after that last Newcastle corner, going down and briefly staying down. He continues without receiving treatment.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:55
Gordon's hard running forces Niakhate into a hurried pass that Sels cannot reach, giving Newcastle another corner. This one is harmlessly headed into the hands of Sels by Schar.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:54
Buoyed by that attack, which was teed up by a wonderful first-time Dominguez pass, Forest are enjoying some possession for the first time. Their most likely route to goal still looks to be on the counter, though.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:53
Burn was badly exposed by Elanga in the reverse fixture and similarly suffered against Luton's Chiedozie Ogbene last week. However, the way Newcastle have set up, with Trippier joining Miley in the middle to create a back three, requires Burn to start ahead of Livramento.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:51
Huge stop from Dubravka! Burn is caught out by the pace of Elanga, who races away down the right, gaining an angle from which to go for goal. But Dubravka is out bravely and blocks.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:49
It is one-way traffic right now, but Forest will be keen to reflect on how they turned the reverse fixture on its head. Newcastle led at St James' Park but lost 3-1.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:48
Trippier now has 10 assists in the Premier League this season, tied for the most in the division. The last Newcastle player to reach double-figures in a top-flight campaign was Laurent Robert in 2001-02.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:47
Newcastle are straight back on the attack, and there are muted appeals for a penalty. Gordon fires a pass towards Wilson, whose loose first touch bounces between Forest players. Longstaff gets there and goes down under a challenge, but referee Anthony Taylor is unimpressed.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:44
Assist Kieran John Trippier
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:43
Goal Bruno Guimarães Rodriguez Moura
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:43
Sels comes for a Trippier corner and just about gets there, palming the ball behind for another one. That was one area in which Sels really struggled while at Newcastle, albeit way back in the 2016-17 season.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:43
Save by Sels! Longstaff carries the ball from the halfway line towards the Forest box. When he still is not greeted with a challenge, the Newcastle man drives in a low shot that bounces in front of Sels and forces the goalkeeper into a smart stop.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:42
Newcastle are dominating the possession, but Forest are such a threat on the break. The pattern of play will suit the home side just fine so far.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:40
Chance for Gibbs-White! Gordon's shot at one end is blocked, and the touch from the Forest defender reaches the Newcastle half. The hosts break at speed, as they did in the reverse fixture, and Nuno Tavares cuts the ball back to Gibbs-White in the centre of the area. He drags his shot just wide of the bottom-right corner.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:37
Gordon feeds a brilliant pass into Longstaff in the box, but the midfielder cannot work room for a shot. The Magpies build again until Almiron loses possession.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:35
Miley looks to be lining up in the middle of the Newcastle midfield, with Guimaraes playing to his left. That was a move Howe made in the course of last week's match, and the manager praised teenager Miley for his role.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:33
KICK-OFF: Newcastle's Guimaraes get the game under way!
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:13
Gordon is a surprise inclusion in the Newcastle XI after limping off at half-time in last week's 4-4 draw with Luton Town. It means the only change is a tactical one, with Wilson in for Murphy as a more natural centre-forward. Newcastle captain Lascelles, who came through the Forest academy, is fit again and on the bench.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:13
Forest made eight changes to face Bristol City in the cup, but they show only one change from their last league match as Niakhite replaces Omobamidele. Gibbs-White is fit despite sustaining a knock in midweek, while Sels makes his home bow against former club Newcastle.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:13
NEWCASTLE UNITED SUBS: Loris Karius, Paul Dummett, Jamaal Lascelles, Matt Ritchie, Harvey Barnes, Emil Krafth, Lewis Hall, Tino Livramento, Jacob Murphy.

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:08
Let's get the team news...
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:08
For Newcastle, it is the corresponding fixture from last season that provides cause for optimism. Eddie Howe's side came from behind to win 2-1 at the City Ground with a last-gasp Alexander Isak penalty, a second win in a run of eight in nine that carried the Magpies towards Champions League qualification. Isak is also now missing due to injury.
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United17:08
Struggling Forest are two points above the bottom three and come into this game looking for their first league win of 2024, but they advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup by beating Bristol City on penalties in midweek and have fond memories of facing Newcastle on Boxing Day, running out 3-1 winners courtesy of a hat-trick from Chris Wood. Former Newcastle man Wood is absent here through injury, however.
