Nottingham Forest produced one of the strangest corner routines we've seen during Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United.

As the corner is taken, five Forest players dart into the penalty area and attempt to challenge for the ball.

Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope and his defenders looked confused as did everyone else inside the stadium.Pope managed to catch the ball with ease after a poor delivery and it left everyone watching what on earth they'd just watched. Safe to say it's one that needed a far better delivery and far better execution. The clip has gone viral and fans still don't fully understand what was attempted.Another put:"Sunday League vibes I rate it."While someone put:"The moment I realised we're in for a long season."The actual tactics were likely an attempt to disorganise the Magpies defence and leave them wondering who to mark and pick up.

Forest started the game with six of their 12 new signings on the pitch, while Newcastle only included Pope from their new recruits.They managed to keep Newcastle out until the 58th minute, when central defender Fabian Schar produced a sensational effort from the edge of the box.He fired his effort in off the near post and there was nothing Dean Henderson could do about it.

Callum Wilson sealed all three points 12 minutes from time with a first time chip over Henderson and into the far corner.
