Isak’s late penalty secures Newcastle’s comeback win over Nottingham Forest

Waiting, so they say, is often worthwhile. It has been a test of patience for Alexander Isak, for Eddie Howe, for Newcastle supporters. But a pair of stoppage-time strikes – one in each half – turned around the on-field deficit, and cut another: fourth placed Tottenham are now within a point, and Newcastle have a game in hand.

After an evening of gliding, stretching defenders, of earlier stroking home a technically sublime equaliser, Isak rose with minutes to spare. His header struck Moussa Niakhaté’s hand, presenting one final chance from the penalty spot.Up the Swede stepped, the boos booming around the ground. Cool, calm, and match winning, Isak placed the ball in the top corner. He has half a dozen goals now in the equivalent of just shy of seven games. “Confidence is key for any attacking player.

“It’s the worst way to lose, isn’t it?” said Cooper. “The main talking points were how we didn’t manage ourselves around the two goals. They are moments in the game where you just have to see it out. For us to make those decisions in the buildup is something you will get punished for at this level. That’s where my immediate frustration is.”
