Nottingham Forest and Newcastle finished level at 1-1 at The City Ground in Premier League round 36, in a match that remained finely balanced throughout. Newcastle had slightly more of the ball, with 54% possession compared with Forest's 46%, but the hosts matched their opponents in chances and ended with more shots on goal overall.
The visitors made the breakthrough in the 74th minute when Jacob Ramsey provided the assist for Harvey Barnes, who netted his seventh league goal of the campaign. Barnes' strike looked set to settle the contest, with Newcastle having already shown enough attacking threat to edge ahead in a game where both sides were closely matched on the numbers.
Forest, however, found a late response. In the 88th minute, James McAtee delivered the assist for Elliot Anderson, who scored his fourth goal of the competition to bring the hosts back on level terms. The equaliser arrived after a period in which Forest had produced 17 shots and 6 on target, underlining their persistence in the closing stages.
In the end, the statistics reflected just how tight the contest was. Forest finished with 1.54 expected goals to Newcastle's 1.29, while the visitors recorded 16 shots and 6 on target. With both sides creating enough to threaten victory, a draw was a fair reflection of an evenly fought meeting at The City Ground.
