Woltemade joins three-man Toon club as pressure piles on Postecoglou

NEWCASTLE secured a narrow win at St James' Park to leave Ange Postecoglou's future in choppy waters.

Bruno Guimaraes fired in a neat curling effort from range before former Newcastle man Elliot Anderson gave away a decisive penalty for Nick Woltemade to tuck away.

Guimaraes caught out Sels from range with a dipping finish, before a brief VAR check gave the Magpies faithful the go ahead to celebrate.

Former youth graduate Anderson got caught out by Guimaraes in the box half an hour later, handing Woltemade a penalty which he smashed into the top left corner.

His goal made him just the third Newcastle player to score in his first three home league appearances, following in the footsteps of club legends Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand.

But the outlook is more dire for Forest, who are yet to taste victory in seven games under new manager AngePostecoglouu.

The Aussie is thought to already be under pressure in the role, after being sacked by Spurs at the end of last season.

Time will tell how the result affects his place at the club, but one can't help but feel that time is running out for that first win to come.
