If Newcastle manage to qualify for the Champions League, they may look back on his as the night they did it.
The visitors ended Nottingham Forest’s nine-match unbeaten home run in the league when Alexander Isak converted a stoppage time penalty – his second goal of the night – to move Eddie Howe’s team to within a point of fourth-placed Tottenham.
It was a ludicrous handball by Moussa Niakhate that gave Newcastle their chance and Isak, who had earlier levelled following Emmanuel Dennis’ opener, struck home the penalty after persuading Kieran Trippier to give him the ball.
