Newcastle beat Forest in seven-goal thriller
Newcastle United's Jacob Murphy scores their side's second goal of the game during the Premier League match at St James' Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, February 23, 2025

Newcastle 4-3 Nottingham Forest
by Roger Domeneghetti
at St. James' Park

 

A BRACE from Alexander Isak and goals from Jacob Murphy and Lewis Miley saw Newcastle grab three points that left them sitting outside the top four on goal difference today.

However, they were clinging on at the end. This was Schrodinger’s Newcastle, a team both good and bad; one capable of muscular tenacity and debilitating passivity. One capable of scything through the opposition and gifting them goals.
