NOTTINGHAM, England :Brazilian Bruno Guimaraes scored twice as Newcastle United held off a spirited comeback from Nottingham Forest to win 3-2 at the City Ground in Saturday's late Premier League game.
Both Newcastle's first-half goals, scored by Guimaraes and Fabian Schar, came from set pieces, but the visitors struggled to deal with the pace of Forest's counter-attack.
A clever corner from Miguel Almiron found Kieran Trippier, and his deep cross was brilliantly volleyed home by Guimaraes in the 10th minute.
Swedish winger Anthony Elanga scored for the hosts on the break in the 26th minute to level, and though Newcastle's Schar netted in the 44th, Callum Hudson-Odoi scored deep into first-half stoppage time to make it 2-2.
