Newcastle United continued their strong Premier League form with a confident 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at St James’ Park. Although Anthony Gordon didn’t get on the scoresheet, he played a vital role in stretching the defense and creating space for teammates to capitalize.
Newcastle Take Control in the Second Half

Dominant Team Performance
Newcastle’s defense remained solid throughout, with Sven Botman and Malick Thiaw forming a reliable partnership at the back. Kieran Trippier provided leadership and creativity from the right, while Joelinton and Tonali controlled the midfield battle.
Anthony Gordon may not have scored, but his pressing, pace, and movement were instrumental in creating attacking opportunities and keeping Forest under pressure.
What’s Next for Newcastle
