Striker Alexander Isak netted a brace, including a last-gasp penalty, as Newcastle United ended Nottingham Forest's nine-match unbeaten Premier League streak at home with a 2-1 win on Friday.
Eddie Howe's team moved up to 47 points and now trail fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur by just a point and with a game in hand. The Magpies head into the international break with their aim of Champions League qualification now within touching distance.
Emmanuel Dennis put Forest ahead in the 26th minute as they looked to extend their unbeaten run at City Ground, where they had not lost since September. Isak restored parity just before halftime after Joe Willock's cross dropped behind him and he twisted his body to volley the ball off his shin and in off the far post. He put a finger to his mouth to silence the Forest fans.
"I think we showed great character and kept pushing . . . we kept controlling the game and had chances. We believe and we know that we have it in our own hands and have a good chance."
