Nottingham Forest's fine run came to an end in a 3-1 home defeat to Newcastle United on Sunday.

Forest had won three games in a row to sit just behind Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the table and their dream run looked set to continue at the City Ground.

Murillo's towering header from Anthony Elanga's free-kick opened the scoring.

But Newcastle hit back strongly after half-time.

Alexander Isak's fourth goal in as many games began the fightback.

Joelinton then curled in a sensational strike from the edge of the box before Harvey Barnes sealed the three points that lifts the Magpies into eighth.
