    Should Newcastle not win this then I do believe they will be fighting for a Euro Conf League place next season.

  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:22 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2023

    HT: Newcastle 1-1 Nottm Forest

    And breathe...

    The referee blows the whistle for half-time. That was a hectic 45 minutes!

    Isak nearly puts Newcastle up again! He's unmarked and maybe should do better as he heads the ball towards goal.

    It's straight at Matt Turner, who palms it away.

    Nottingham Forest break quickly down at the other end, but Callum Hudson-Odoi's lacks the power to trouble Martin Dubravka.

    A hefty challenge from Morgan Gibbs-White brings down Bruno Guimaraes. No yellow card.

    You know Nottingham Forest had the pace and they showed that there.

    GOAL - Newcastle 1-1 Nottm Forestpublished at 13:18 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2023

    Chris Wood

    Just as the officials signal three minutes of added time, Nottingham Forest have an equaliser.

    Morgan Gibbs-White plays in Anthony Elanga, who travels to the goalline and cuts the ball back for Chris Wood and he can't miss from there!

    Anthony Elanga whips in a dangerous cross, aimed at Chris Wood, who is making a darting run into the six-yard box.

    The ball doesn't reach the New Zealand international, though, with Martin Dubravka reacting quickly to grab it.

    Newcastle are searching for a second.

    Some nice link up play between Sean Longstaff and Miguel Almiron before Bruno Guimaraes loses his footing in the box, and there's shouts for a penalty from the Newcastle fans.

    There's nothing in it, though, and Chris Kavanagh allows play to go on.

    Elanga v Burn is not a great match-up for Toon. Maybe should have gone with Livramento.

  10. CLOSE!published at 13:07 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2023

    Newcastle 1-0 Nottm Forest

    This is end-to-end at the moment.

    Alexander Isak attempts a cheeky little chip to trick Matt Turner, before Dan Burn lofts the ball into the air. It looks like it's heading into the net but it's scrambled away by the Forest defence.

  11. CLOSE!published at 13:05 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2023

    Newcastle 1-0 Nottm Forest

    Should Anthony Elanga have played that square to Chris Wood?

    The pair find themselves through on goal, but Elanga goes by himself and fires straight down the neck of Martin Dubravka.

    A huge opportunity.

    This is getting a little bit feisty!

    Nottingham Forest are pushing hard to find an equaliser and Anthony Elanga comes close, trying squeeze his shot in at the near post, but it hits the side netting.

    Soft penalty, very minimal contact but VAR can't overturn that.

    Another yellow! Gonzalo Montiel gets one for dissent.

    A fantastic diving block from Gonzalo Montiel denies Anthony Gordon from getting a shot on goal.

    The Newcastle forward finds himself in the book for a sliding tackle on Anthony Elanga, who was breaking with pace down the right wing.

    Ibrahim Sangare goes through the back of Alexander Isak to earn himself a yellow card.

    How will Nottingham Forest respond here?

    They're quick to push forward and Anthony Elanga gets a shot off, but it's a comfortable enough save for Martin Dubravka.

    I think that is a 8.9 from the judges for Isak! A slight touch but does make you pirouette in the air! Should be ashamed!

    Alexander Isak

    It's not the best penalty, but Alexander Isak finds the back of the net.

    Matt Turner hesitates before diving and it gives the Newcastle striker just enough wiggle room to place his spot-kick to the goalkeeper's left.

    It's been given. The VAR backs up Chris Kavanagh's on-field decision.

    It looks like Alexander Isak is stepping up to take it.
