The visitors dominated possession and had their fair share of chances before retaking the lead through Fabian Schar.

It appeared Newcastle would hold a 2-1 lead at half-time but Callum Hudson-Odoi pounced in the sixth minute of stoppage time to level the contest.

Forest then thought they had a chance to take the lead as Taiwo Awoniyi went down in the box, but referee Anthony Taylor overturned his decision to award a penalty after consulting the VAR monitor.

Minutes later Toon went up the other end as Guimaraes brilliantly intercepted a loose pass before bending a winner beyond goalkeeper Matz Sels.
