Newcastle United reignited their top-four hopes with a breathtaking 4-3 victory over Nottingham Forest, powered by an Alexander Isak double and a stunning first-half blitz at St James’ Park.
Despite falling behind early to Callum Hudson-Odoi’s strike, Eddie Howe’s side responded in electrifying fashion, netting four goals in just 11 minutes. Youngster Lewis Miley sparked the comeback with a composed finish, followed by Jacob Murphy’s close-range effort. Isak then stole the show, scoring twice in quick succession—including an audacious penalty—to reach 50 Premier League goals and draw level with Erling Haaland in this season’s scoring charts.
Forest mounted a late fightback with second-half goals from Nikola Milenkovic and Ryan Yates, but Newcastle held on to claim a crucial win. The result propels the Magpies back into the Champions League race, sitting level on points with fourth-placed Manchester City.
