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.
Here are the Newcastle United half-time player ratings from the match (ratings updated at full-time)...

9. Miguel Almiron - 3
Saw plenty of the ball but has been inconsistent with it so far with two wayward shots. Again his decision making must be questioned in the build-up to Forest's equaliser with his decision to pass proving costly. Almost scored an own goal but was fortunately saved by Forest's Anthony Elanga. Another bad afternoon for the winger. | AFP via Getty Images

10. Anthony Gordon - 5
Saw a shot blocked in the first half but another largely quiet outing for the winger. Booked. | Getty Images

11. Alexander Isak - 7
Scored his 10th goal of the season from the penalty spot after winning the spot kick. Squandered a good opportunity to pull a goal back at 3-1 down. Was the only real bright spark in the final third for The Magpies. | Getty Images

12. Callum Wilson - 5
On for Almiron 56: Headed wide from a corner. Slipped in by Isak but couldn't get a shot away. | Getty Images
