Eddie Howe named an unchanged side from last Sunday’s 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers but matchwinner Miguel Almiron missed out on the bench due to an injury picked up on the eve of the game
After a dominant opening 25-minutes, Newcastle gifted Forest the lead as Sven Botman passed the ball straight to Emmanuel Dennis to chil the ball over Nick Pope and give the hosts the lead.
But on the stroke of half-time, Alexander Isak drew the Magpies level with a fine volleyed finish to make it 1-1.
Here are the Newcastle player ratings from the game...
9. Jacob Murphy - 6
Got into some good areas down the right and put in a good ball early on for Willock who couldn’t convert. | Getty Images
10. Allan Saint-Maximin - 5
Not really made an impact. Moved into a central position but still lacked cutting edge. Quiet by his standards and replaced at half-time. | AFP via Getty Images
11. Alexander Isak - 9
Saw a good early chance cleared onto the crossbar by Renan Lodi. Got into some promising areas and was rewarded for his efforts with a fine finish on the stroke of half-time. Played a lovely cross for Elliot Anderson to head in only for it to be ruled out. But was still the hero at the end as he held his nerve from the penalty spot. Borderline unplayable at times. | Getty Images
12. Elliot Anderson - 7
On for Saint-Maximin 46: Almost made an instant impact with his volley forcing a good save from Keylor Navas. Skied an edge of the box effort later in the second half before heading in what he thought was his first Newcastle goal shortly after only for it to be ruled out for offside. | Getty Images
