Newcastle player ratings vs Nottingham Forest: Chris Wood HAT-TRICK cancels Alexander Isak goal

RW: Miguel Almiron - 5/10. In the first half, the Paraguay international made a few wrong decisions. He got himself into some promising positions both out wide and centrally, but nothing seemed to work for Almiron.

SUB: Callum Wilson - 5/10. Had some bright touches but also fluffed his lines in front of goal. He had a few good opportunities but didn't make the most of them.

CF: Alexander Isak - 7/10. Refreshing to see Alexander Isak back in the starting lineup. Indeed, it proved to be the right decision by Eddie Howe as early on, Isak won a penalty AND converted it, giving us a lead midway through the first half.

LW: Anthony Gordon - 7/10. Gordon was one of our better players as he put in an excellent shift. It's no surprise since Gordon is one of our hardest workers, the only fault is that he could've helped Dan Burn out more defensively, but this isn't his ultimate job.
