November 10, (THEWILL) – Newcastle United exhibited their attacking strength at the City Ground, overcoming Nottingham Forest 3-1 in a compelling English Premier League encounter.
The victory extended their impressive away record against Forest to seven matches without defeat.
The home side started brightly, taking an early advantage through Murillo’s first goal for the club.
The defender connected with Anthony Elanga’s precise cross, directing a header past Nick Pope. However, Newcastle’s response intensified, with Bruno Guimaraes testing goalkeeper Matz Sels from distance.
The turning point arrived after the interval when Forest squandered a promising counter-attack through Nicolas Dominguez.
Newcastle capitalised immediately, with Alexander Isak converting following Anthony Gordon’s corner kick. The Swedish forward could have doubled his tally moments later but sent his volley wide of the target.
Newcastle’s momentum continued building, resulting in Joelinton putting the visitors ahead with an expertly placed left-footed strike.
The Brazilian midfielder’s effort curved beyond Sels’ reach, transforming Newcastle’s earlier pressure into a deserved advantage.
The match concluded with substitute Harvey Barnes adding a third goal for Newcastle, cementing their victory.
