Overview
- Newcastle beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 at St James’ Park as Bruno Guimaraes opened the scoring and won a late penalty that Nick Woltemade converted.
- The 23-year-old has scored in each of his first three Premier League home games for Newcastle, joining Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand.
- Woltemade now has four goals in seven appearances across competitions since a late-August club-record move from Stuttgart reported at about £69m on a contract to 2031.
- The German FA said he will not travel to the national-team camp for now because of a flu-like infection, with no replacement called and his status for Luxembourg and Northern Ireland unclear.
- Eddie Howe praised the striker’s calm spot-kick after discussions over penalty duties, while debate over the transfer fee resurfaced as Karl-Heinz Rummenigge’s criticism drew a rebuke from Jamie Carragher.
