Overview

• Woltemade converted an 84th-minute penalty to seal Newcastle’s 2–0 home win over Nottingham Forest after Bruno Guimaraes had put the hosts ahead.
• The goal made him only the third Newcastle player to score in his first three Premier League home games, following Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand.
• He now has three goals in four league appearances and netted his first Champions League strike midweek against Union Saint-Gilloise.
• The victory lifted Newcastle into the Premier League’s mid-table, and Woltemade was substituted to loud applause and chants from the St. James’ Park crowd.
• Signed for a widely reported large fee in the summer, he has earned public praise at the club and strengthened his Germany case, while fellow newcomer Malick Thiaw impressed defensively against Forest.
