Newcastle United are drawing 1-1 with Nottingham Forest in the Premier League at St James' Park this afternoon - here are the player ratings from the match so far.

The Magpies made two changes to the side that lost 1-0 at Luton Town on Saturday with Sven Botman and Alexander Isak coming back into the side for Jamaal Lascelles and Callum Wilson. Joelinton returned to the bench after missing the Chelsea and Luton away trips.

Newcastle had a great chance to take the lead midway through the first half as Alexander Isak was fouled inside the area by Ola Aina. The Swede stepped up to net his 10th goal of the season from the penalty spot to make it 1-0.

In first-half stoppage time, Forest equalised through former Newcastle striker Chris Wood with a simple finish to make it 1-1 going in at the break.
