00:00 So as the final few stragglers from the away end leave over my shoulder there, they'll

00:07 be celebrating Newcastle United's 3-2 win against London Forest. It was, what can you

00:13 say, it was a nervy affair again. Newcastle very slack defensively, not brilliant, but

00:19 you know what, they got the three goals, they got the win, and on a day like this it's all

00:23 that matters. It was one of them where they just had to win, they really did just have

00:26 to get themselves over the line and get that three points. I wouldn't say put the memories

00:31 of Luton to bed, but that's seven points in three games, it's a good return, two wins

00:35 on the road in that time. It was a good win for Newcastle, inspired of course by their

00:41 Brazilian maestro Bruno Guimaraes. In the first half Newcastle twice took the lead,

00:46 were pegged back twice, exactly what happened last week against Luton. First goal was Bruno,

00:52 he was brilliant to be fair, rightfully get two goals, but he was fantastic, it was a

00:56 fantastic work corner. And we're on to Trippier, Trippier's long corner to Bruno who then

01:03 volleyed home past Mat Sells for the opener. It was a fantastic, well-worked goal, reminiscent

01:08 of their goal to score against Brentford, Bruno scored that again last year. It was

01:11 a brilliant corner, you think right this is Newcastle, whether they need to really press

01:15 on the advantage and try and avoid doing what they've done in the last week and throw that

01:20 lead away. They didn't, it was Olanga this time and now, there was questions before the

01:24 game about Dan Byrne, was he the right selection, had Liverpool meant no left back, and maybe

01:28 when you see the first goal you see Gibbs right, threading a brilliant ball through to Olanga

01:33 to be fair, and Olanga gets on the end of it. Olanga gets between Botman and Byrne,

01:37 Martin de Bravica runs out and the former Man United man just pokes the ball home for

01:41 1-1. And then you think right, Newcastle have to regroup. And then to be fair to them, they

01:45 did, they got another free kick, Trippie has a long, I wouldn't say hopeful ball, but a

01:51 long ball, finds Botman, who heads it on and there's Fabian Scheer on the hard volley,

01:56 smash home his third goal in three games, yeah, after he got his two against Brace,

02:00 so that was brilliant. Newcastle go 2-1 ahead, and then you think right, this is the time

02:03 they really need to tighten up, don't come through before half-time, and what do you

02:06 know, right on the stroke of half-time, Callum Hudson-Odoi cuts in on the right, fires a

02:11 shot, it takes a wicked deflection of Lewis Miley, pass to Bradcland, nothing Miley or

02:14 de Bravica could do, and then Forrest all of a sudden, probably deservedly, going to

02:18 the break level, and Newcastle once again payback twice, and you do think where they're

02:23 going to get this extra momentum from, this extra belief, it's been a difficult year,

02:27 they're going to have to get this belief that they can win this game. They come out the

02:31 second half, a couple of scares, but they tighten up, they really do tighten up the second

02:34 half, God give them praise for that. Bruno gets his second in the game, that was a brilliant

02:37 effort, brilliant goal, all fours to him, initially it seemed like it just fell, but

02:42 I think it was a great pass, he takes it, one touch, settles himself, curls it, pass

02:46 settles, gives Sells after it more chance, to be fair, and then Newcastle, yeah, Newcastle

02:50 3-2 ahead and they managed to keep a hold of that lead. Liveramento, like this against

02:54 Villa, Liveramento comes on from Miley, go to back five, not really nullified, Forrest

02:58 don't want to get it wrong, he still had a couple of chances, it was less, I think,

03:01 you know, they dealt with it less well than Villa, but you know what, it was a brilliant

03:05 second half performance, they needed that win, they really did, it was one they absolutely

03:09 needed and they'll go against Bournemouth next week full of confidence in it. It's

03:14 sometimes not about the performance, there will be worries on that performance, plenty

03:17 of worries defensively certainly, some maybe about squad selection, substitutions, there

03:22 will be plenty of fairly out-of-concert, but right now they just need that win and they've

03:25 got the three points set up for seventh as it stands before Sunday's game, so that's

03:28 brilliant, return conceding the first half of the season, the injuries they've had and

03:33 all that, so yeah, it was not the best performance but they got the win and that's all they need

03:37 from the day of the city ground and hopefully it's going to be the start of a good end of

03:41 the season.
