But the hosts responded emphatically with Lewis Miley equalising in the 23rd minute.

Fast forward 11 minutes and Newcastle were 4-1 up thanks Jacob Murphy and a double from Alexander Isak.

Forest looked shellshocked but they regrouped at half-time and found a way back into the match after Nikola Milenkovic found the back of the net.
