Premier League: Nottingham Forest Shock Newcastle United
Nottingham Forest Take Early Lead
In a stunning turn of events, newly promoted Nottingham Forest has taken an early lead against high-flying Newcastle United in their Premier League clash. Taiwo Awoniyi's goal in the 11th minute has given Forest a lifeline, as they battle to stay out of the relegation zone.
Newcastle's Struggles Continue
Newcastle, who have impressed this season, have found it difficult to break down Forest's resolute defense. The Magpies have struggled to create clear-cut chances and have been frustrated by Forest's physical approach.
Eddie Howe's side has been dealt a further blow with the injury to key midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. The Brazilian was forced off in the first half with a suspected ankle problem, and his absence will be a major setback for Newcastle.
