Forest took the lead through Emmanuel Dennis’s 26th-minute effort, before the Alexander Isak leveled the score on the stroke of half-time. Just when it looked like the points might be shared in Nottinghamshire, Isak converted a spot-kick three minutes into the injury time and helped the Magpies secure their 12th top flight victory of the season. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe’s side have have been pretty solid at home this term, losing only one of their 13 league games at St James’ Park, while collecting 26 points from a possible 39 available in front of their own supporters.
