Newcastle United are drawing 2-2 at Nottingham Forest at half-time in the Premier League - here's how the players have fared so far.
Eddie Howe made just one change from the starting line-up that faced Luton Town last weekend with Callum Wilson starting his first match of 2024 in place of Jacob Murphy, who dropped to the bench.
Newcastle came out of the blocks fast and opened the scoring inside the opening 10 minutes as Kieran Trippier's cross was volleyed in by Bruno Guimaraes at the back post.
Forest drew things level mid-way through the first half as Anthony Elanga burst through on goal and slotted the ball through Martin Dubravka's legs to make it 1-1.
But as half-time approached, Newcastle took the lead once again as Fabian Schar half-volleyed in Sven Botman's flick-on to make it 2-1 to the visitors.
Just before the half-time whistle blew, Callum Hudson-Odoi's strike deflected heavily off Miley to make it 2-2 going in at the break.

5. Dan Burn - 6
Solid in possession but was exposed by the pace of Anthony Elanga. Dubravka came to the rescue the first time but couldn't deny the Forest winger the second time. Made a couple of good challenges down his side and some important clearances. | Getty Images

6. Sean Longstaff - 6
Forced a good save from Matz Sels. Quite quiet otherwise. | Getty Images

7. Lewis Miley - 6
In and out of the game but has handled a slightly different role in the midfield relatively well to free-up Guimaraes. Was unfortunate to see the ball deflect off him and into the Newcastle goal. | Getty Images

8. Bruno Guimaraes - 9
A great finish put Newcastle ahead early on. Played further forward and Newcastle saw the benefit in the Nottingham Forest half. Created Newcastle's third goal from nothing as he won the ball back before finding the bottom right corner. A world class midfield display when Newcastle really needed it. | Getty Images
