Nottm Forest vs Newcastle Live Score

Sandro Tonali made his return after a 10-month suspension as Newcastle triumphed over Nottingham Forest in a penalty shootout during the Carabao Cup.

Sean Longstaff secured the victory with the decisive penalty after Ibrahim Sangare and Taiwo Awoniyi missed their attempts for Forest.

Tonali, who had been serving a lengthy ban for violating betting rules, played 60 minutes at the City Ground before being substituted.

Joe Willock gave Newcastle an early lead, scoring just 18 seconds into the match by finishing a rebound after Forest's debutant goalkeeper, Carlos Miguel, deflected Alexander Isak's shot into Willock's path.

In the third minute, Isak set up Tonali for a chance to double the lead, but Miguel made a crucial save.

Newcastle's progress hit a snag when Willock, who had been sidelined at the end of last season with an Achilles injury, was forced off with what appeared to be a thigh injury.

Nottingham Forest equalized with a stunning half-volley from Jota Silva, which hit the post before finding the net. It was Silva's first start and goal for Forest.

Four players made their debuts for Forest, including Brazilian Miguel, teenage German right-back Eric da Silva Moreira, Aston Villa loanee Alex Moreno, and Paraguayan forward Ramon Sosa.

Elliot Anderson, a summer signing from Newcastle, nearly scored against his former team but saw his lob drift narrowly wide.

Dan Burn, Harvey Barnes, Lewis Hall, and Anthony Gordon all had opportunities to win the game for Newcastle before it went to penalties.

Joelinton's penalty was saved by Miguel, but the rest of his teammates converted their spot-kicks, sending Newcastle through to the third round, where they will face League Two's AFC Wimbledon away.
