Newcastle v Nottingham Forest: Premier League – live | Premier League

17 min A Forest corner is headed away to Aina, who blasts over from 20 yards.

16 min Isak goes over in the area after a challenge from Danilo. There’s a brief shout for a penalty from the home crowd but that’s all.

14 min Despite the odd bit of self-harm like that Danilo pass, Forest have made a pretty comfortable start to the game. Newcastle are not at their ferocious best, yet.

12 min Danilo plays an absurd pass across his own area, straight to Almiron on the edge of the box. He finds Miley who plays in Trippier, but he floats a harmless chip over the bar.

11 min Forest almost get in trouble trying to play out from the back. With Newcastle waiting to pounce, the keeper Turner decides to aveit straight into the crowd. Merry Christmas.

9 min Miley, an elusive player whose ghostly movement resembles that of Kai Havertz, wanders into space on the right of the area and stands up a decent cross that is headed away at the far post.

7 min Nothing much to report at the moment. Forest certainly haven’t parked the bus, but both attacks are still rubbing the sleep out of their face.

5 min Elanga has started on the right for Forest, with Hudson-Odoi on the left.

4 min Now Forest win a corner. They also take it short and also make a mess of it.

3 min: Chance for Forest! Elanga’s shot is blocked and rebounds to Miley on the edge of the area. He runs into his own player, allowing Gibbs-White to seize possession and drag a shot just wide of the left-hand post. That was a pretty good chance.

1 min Trippier wins a corner for Newcastle inside 20 seconds. He takes it short to Almiron, who works it infield to Longstaff. His through pass back towards Trippier is cut out, the end.

1 min Peep peep! Newcastle kick off from left to right as we watch. It looks a nice day at St James’ Park, with sunshine and everything.

Only a spark was needed to set alight combustible feelings, and a balding middle-aged looking pugilist provided it. His paunch exposed, his shirt flying, this heavyweight bare-knuckle fighter set his arms flailing like a windmill and at least five policemen were needed to cool his ardour and pin him to the muddy turf. But the damage had been done and the crowd went haring down the pitch to the Gallowgate end.
