Elliot Anderson haunted his former club with a stoppage-time equaliser, earning Nottingham Forest a 1-1 draw against Newcastle at the City Ground. The midfielder, who left St James' Park last summer due to PSR constraints, curled in a fine finish in the 88th minute to cancel out Harvey Barnes' second-half opener.

Anderson's £35m departure in 2024 proved controversial, but the 23-year-old has flourished at Forest, becoming an England regular with Manchester City now circling for his signature. The point moves Forest seven points above the relegation zone, and if Arsenal beat West Ham, Vitor Pereira's side will be mathematically safe. Their unbeaten Premier League run extends to eight games.

The result ends Newcastle's faint hopes of European qualification, with the Magpies sitting 13th in the table - two points below rivals Sunderland. Anthony Gordon remained an unused substitute for the second consecutive game, with Bayern Munich having opened talks over a summer move. Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara suggested the benchings indicate Gordon's imminent departure: "If Howe isn't playing him at this stage of the season, he's getting rid of him."
