Newcaslte organized a comeback in the second half of Nottingham Forest in an entertaining 4: 3 victory in St. James’ Park.
Callum Hudson -Odoi gave Forest an early lead from a distance before the magpies were restored by Lewis Miley, Jacob Murphy and two goals by Alexander Isak.
Forest dominated a lot in the second half and a comeback show city.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s team remains third, but in four Premier League games the third defeat with the striving for Champions League football in dynamics.

Forest made the perfect start to the process when Hudson-Odoi chose Fabian Schar’s bag before caught Nick Pope, who returned to the Magpies goal after an injury, with a beautifully placed shot from range.
The visitors enjoyed a large part of the early property on Tyneside, but were greased by Newcastle from a 13-minute killing spree of 83 minutes.
After the ball was recycled by Lewis Hall, the young midfielder was allowed to divide the room in the box into the back corner and get the gate over the goal.

Two minutes later, the magpies were at the front when a pretty Isak retreat sent the Hall on the left again, with Murphy’s dismissed cross of the Englishman finally bundled.
Not long later it got better and Hall was very involved again. The cross of the 20-year-old from the left was considered the hand of Ola Aina and after a review before the game there was a punishment. Isak shook the ball in the middle that Matz Sels could not keep away, even though he brought a hand to it.

And the toon was not finished there, as Isak was fed by Joe Willock before the red-hot Swedish striker of the finish of Murrillo and over Sels into the back of the network.
Wald started the second half, which has a lot more intentions, and Anthony Elanga couldn’t jump high enough to stab home up close before reducing the deficit by Milenkovic.
The former Newcastle striker Chris Wood’s shot towards the goal was diverted by the central defender with a beautiful bakery when Newcastle tried to achieve the intensity that they showed in the first half.

It looked as if the toon could be able to keep his lead and keep two goals, but Yates set up from a short distance to set up a nervous finish.
The away side then thought that after a collision in the penalty area they had a late penalty, but the hosts did just enough to end a two-game defeat.
