2024-25 Football League Cup (2 Round) Nottingham Forest v Newcastle United (28 August 2024) PART 1

well seven teams to enter in the next round have newly expanded European commitment so has there ever been a better chance recently for an outsider to win this competition in the last 11 years it's been won by both Manchester clubs Chelsea and Liverpool but maybe naam Forest who have a special Affinity with this competition and Newcastle who were in the final two years ago might be casting an eye towards Wembley in March and certainly Sandro tanali is just relieved to be back on the [Music] [Applause] grass Nuno does make clear where his priorities really lie this season by changing virtually his entire team from Saturday's win at Southampton 6'8 Brazilian goalkeeper Carlos Miguel signed from Corinthians is one of four Forest players making their debuts another is fullback Alex Moreno who's on loan here for the rest of the season from Aston Villa teenager Zack Abbott's home debut comes 2 years after his only other senior game also in this competition the only face remaining from the weekend is a familiar one to tonight's opponents in fact Newcastle were reluctant to let Elliot Anderson move here last month there are first appearances for German youth International Eric D Silva morera and the Paraguay International Ramon sza while jot Silva only appeared late on Saturday Striker taiu aani makes his first start in a forest shirt since last February another Striker Chris Wood who terrorized his old club with a hatrick against them last boxing day is on a bench that also includes teenage midfielder Ben Perry Eddie how has taken a different approach to his opposite number retaining a core of the 11 that started Sunday's draw with bnma Nick Pope who missed the final two years ago through suspension is in from the start of this bid to reach Wembley again as is Kieran trippier who's been the subject of much speculation but Emil craft and Dan burn remain a center halves with Fabian Sher still suspended the big news is that Sandro tanali gets a starting birth after his 10 months on the sidelines for breaching football's betting ban Alexander isach keeps his place in the center of the forward line Harvey Barnes actually scored the last time he started for Newcastle and it's a strong bench too in including the new team captain Bruno gimmer I a scorer twice when Newcastle won here last February well Newcastle didn't really want to see Elliot Anderson go but needs must with financial fair [Applause] play and what a night for this man Alexandro Tali you can see the nerves in his face there'll be some emotion there as well and he'll just want to get through it playing okay doesn't need to do anything spectacular his Fitness won't be 100% but he's had a few practice games on the training [Applause] ground well the players gathering around the center circle to remember Sven yuran Erikson the former England manager who's died at the age of 76 a colorful reign in charge of the national team the 5-1 in Germany the Beckham free kick against Greece the highlights the low lights the defeat by Brazil in 2002 two major tournament losses to Portugal on penalties he did of course have a brief spell in Nottingham as director of football at knots County who couldn't really afford him and a year at Leicester and he's Remembered in the East Midlands tonight [Music] [Applause] and a great figure of management remembered here at the city [Music] ground well it is 20 years next month since Brian Pluff died where this football club became accustomed to punching above their weight in his 18-year Reign and even as they conquered Europe twice they did have a special bond with this competition one that they might hope to rekindle by the Trent this evening [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well there were no Premier League casualties among the five who turned out on the first night of the second round matches but there has to be one here at the city ground this evening a much changed naan Forest lineup from the weekend lesser change but uh Sandro tanali has had his first first touch and it's been worked through to Alexander isach who tests the goalkeeper and will extend with a followup and inside 18 seconds Newcastle scor the first goal tanali was at the heart of starting it but the ball was played through to willik by Alexander isach and that is an incredible start to this carabal cup campaign for Newcastle United and the worst possible start for forest's debutant goalkeeper yeah you ask him whether Carlos Miguel could done better much better with the shot maybe Joe Willet couldn't believe his look but tari gets them going and that's a lovely pass by alron into the the path of the center forward and yeah it comes early to the keeper if he can't hold it he should certainly push it away from the danger area and just how you like him early on for Joe will right in his path well Joe willick he's had such a frustrating time of it lately in his career with Newcastle because of injuries hamstring and achilles issu seemed to dog him last season but he's off to a flyer here as on Newcastle and Forest looking for a away back into it looking for aani who was shephered out of the way by Emil craft well if it goes on like it started Allan could be quite a night yeah it could be yeah it could [Applause] be here's hall now Dan bur here is Kieran tripier restored to the Newcastle lineup tonight a player who had his own issues falling foul of the gambling regulations himself serving a 10we ban for bets placed by friends here's [Music] aani and Hall defends there against morera now willik isach took a tumble so willik has to carry it but he has got alaron up there with him isach has found his feet again and here is tanali and he's denied This Time by Miguel yeah much better for Miguel came off his line quickly but the way Newcastle have started forest with a debutant seem Shell Shocked they just got to set themselves down otherwise it could get a bit messy for [Applause] them the Tali involved there and it was only maybe a small part for the goal but it was that little forward pass pass into to almeron just nicked it through a couple of players and he settled quickly into this well there's been no heralding of A Hero's Return understandably by Newcastle because what happened to tanali was self-inflicted but they have been impressed with the way that he has maintained his physical condition while also having psychological help for the issues that led him to the place he found himself [Applause] in isach L by amadelli and there's jot Silva managed to work the opening here for Alex [Music] Moreno looking to cut one back across has got it back to jot who's urge to shoot and Tali is onto it but om badell is in control well what a turbulent start for the New Forest goalkeeper there aren't going to be too many times when you see a player on the pitch who's taller than Dan burn but he is at 6'8 maybe that's why he got down a little slowly I don't know but he did come extremely early in the match caught him cold here's [Applause] Dominguez jot Silva pulls it across arony climbs but couldn't keep ah headed down it's been a decent reaction from the home team yeah they've conceded another chance up the other end and this was the fell that might just have enjoyed a dream start had he took this one away he sucks at the center of everything [Applause] he lifts that he's got himself a goal was the same three players that were involved in the goal T Ali isach and [Applause] willik just the 12 appearances for Newcastle had tanali before the interruption brought about by that investigation in Italy which also saw him miss the [Music] [Applause] Euros heack on the wrong end of the foul yeah om bad just came in strongly just treading down on esa's left foot [Applause] well shock of a start for Nuno this his first Venture into the competition with Nottingham Forest he's never managed beyond the fourth round of it in his career in England here's alaron [Applause] now Emil craft playing with a back five Forest Zach AB on the left side of the central three but that's twice now there's been huge gaps through the middle for the goal and for tali's chance here's bars now isach challenged by Nicholas Dominguez Sam Allison is tonight's match referee by willick here's craft Al on that falls short for burn and aani is onto it thought about having a go himself wind up instead towards shter Silva and pop had it taken out of his hands real awkward moment that for the [Applause] goalkeeper back from Sosa here's [Applause] Abott now [Applause] Dominguez from Anderson mingz again switches to Eric D Silva morera jotto returns it to him will comes in with a challenge and there are no V reviews of course in this competition so the onfield decision always stands yeah I mean my first reaction was it wasn't a foul I think he just gets a toe to it will gets hurt in the process Pope less than convincing here and trying to claim it might have been better off getting two fist to [Applause] it said that Joe willik who's scored has had his issues with injuries of late with Newcastle and he's injured himself in making the latest challenge don't know if he's tweaked his thigh [Applause] muscle perfect start for Eddie how and for Joe willick although this is a concern it's not the first time he scored in this competition against Nottingham Forest he did five seasons ago in a a 5-nil win for in the third round physio doesn't look too optimistic this was the coming together whether it's a dead leg or a [Applause] pull well he was certainly alive from the start of this match Joe willick there in the right place when the goalkeeper spilled it yeah I mean he always gets in the Box doesn't he Joe Willock he's that type of midfielder and he was on the spot here almost gets ahead of it almost loses his balance to touch he [Applause] does off the field for now Joe willik as Forest line up this corner with Ramon Sosa who's a paragan International colleague of Miguel alaron the pair of them were at the coper America together recently in fact SOA twice came on for alaron at that [Applause] tournament so's kick cleared by Joe Alon head It Away by almeron and Barnes belting been fouled but doesn't get any sympathy it was a a reaching challenge back from Sosa who' taken the original Corner yeah looked like Harvey Barnes got their first they got some Pace on the counter Newcastle who the likes of Barnes he alaron they got players that can motor got the fears over Joe williker laid for now he's back on here's morera on by jot aani trying to find a way through the CFT quickly closed the space certainly look a threat Forest the one he normally does cause danger when he's at it he can be a real handful morrera with the throw by Dominguez Away by Miguel almeron one of many Newcastle players about whom there's been speculation in this transfer window there was talk a move back to the MLS with Charlotte [Applause] there's Willie [Applause] Buy aan in [Music] [Applause] merera have just held back and on the one anticipated Joe will still looks like he's [Applause] laboring he's looking sharp arm on isn't [Applause] he greater concern for moment for Newcastle is Joe willick because it looks as though they are going to have to make a change that they wouldn't have wanted to make and certainly not this early and isn't this just typ IC of the way things have been going for Joe willik on IDE lately the high of that early goal inside the opening 20 seconds of the match and now an injury but it's going to force him back to the sidelines yeah I mean you'd hope it's not too serious certainly don't want to make it any worse at the start of the long season [Applause] well his woes last year restricted him to just nine starts for Newcastle and this latest one isn't even going to reach the quarter hour mark So willik whose goal gave Newcastle their extra early lead leaves a picture of frustration that expression says it all so much work in pre-season feels like it's all for nothing Well he' set himself a target of England recognition the start of a fresh season but Bruno gimmer is on it's not a bad replacement at [Applause] all in fact he was kept in reserve probably an indication of just how seriously Newcastle are taking this competition quick free kick taken there by Kieran tripier Joe Linton has found Barnes who's got Hall moving up on the outside of him it's Joe Linton he looks to Hall forest with enough bodies back to [Applause] defending burn to cra [Applause] lingam forest semi-finalist in this competition two seasons ago if things had worked out differently they might have been playing Newcastle in the final but uh they lost over two legs to Manchester [Applause] United here's Bruno gimmer I now the returning Tali [Applause] done Emil craft who knows all about the uh suffering with injuries got a bad ACL injury and this very competition that rolled him out for over a year now Hall barns back from [Applause] Hall newcastle's away form last season was really poor and it's obviously an area where Eddie how wants to improve [Applause] dramatically this is a good night to lay down a marer they were flat the Bournemouth on Sunday I thought got a draw in the end but certainly didn't hit the heights play through here to Harvey Barnes he looks for alaron and Miguel that's enough this time a powerful hand to it put it away from danger moving the ball really crisply Newcastle that's a beautiful pass through from tanali he showed some really classic touches [Applause] [Applause] his kick Joe linon got [Applause] up Miguel has followed the same pathway as Murillo although his former colleague at Corinthians isn't in the squad tonight here's [Music] [Applause] sza cleared by Chia [Applause] Newcastle so far this season have had the same results against the same opponents as Nottingham Forest CW with Bournemouth a win against Southampton [Applause] trippier now tanali Tri who captained Newcastle in that final a couple of seasons ago okay okay still plenty around from then nine of the starters only Loris caras and Allan maximan have left now om vadeli clearance goes to tanali cool kick out from the keeper that gimmer I [Music] again a quick free kick taken this time by Bruno gimmer I Tria almeron here's tanali [Applause] Hall this is bars tanali trying to slide one through get his range right for alaron well you just see the pictures talii think he'd be really pleased with his first 20 minutes Forest did react well to going a goal behind as early as they did keep her way through to our but gets a touch on it but it's only to [Applause] morera say the under pressure from tripier and then from alaron as well to win the corner [Applause] [Applause] swings in the corner reaches out with a hand was looking for a runner ahead of him shter Silva who is uh known as the Portuguese greish more I think for looks than uh style of play tell think he's got the carves but he looks a lively player Cross by a [Applause] here's Anderson and again Elliot [Applause] Anderson Herrera he's cleared by gimo well it's a slightly different shape for foest players who uh haven't played together much they're doing okay but a back trck here Joe Linton who swept that one through for Harvey Barnes and it is Joe Linton [Applause] again well he saw the Gap and he connected well enough plenty of time to size it up as well [Applause] look at sty on the Parker thought in forou on Sunday grabbing the keeper and the [Applause] throat he could been shown what he should have been shown perhaps he wouldn't have been playing here tonight theyve already lost faan share to a suspension Eddie House side in an area where they do find themselves short of cover when in the days that remain of this transfer window where they probably ideally would like to strengthen [Applause] like all managers I'm sure when he'll be pleased when all the uncertainty ends that he knows what he's got to work with until January at least Bly from Silva and here's Dominguez and there Sprint it out to Alex Moreno Moreno was being urged to shoot but L it off instead to [Applause] morera Sosa stumbled just as he was about to have a CRA and Anderson it is who uh sweeps it into the section of fans that used to support him he is in a sense one of their own the Whitley Bay boy who came through at the famed walls End Boys [Applause] Club mad Deli now Dominguez Tri bringing it under control but then losing out to Ramon Sosa back to jot and gimmer beats him up it those Forest fans who might have been fearing the worst the way this game started and being much more encouraged by this SES cross though deflects back to Alexander isach certainly playing with a nice intensity the forest Lads bit of aggression as [Applause] well there's bound to be much more understanding within that Newcastle lineup than there would be in the home one but at the moment they're doing okay [Applause] [Music] for a lot of pressure on the a and you certainly wouldn't have foreseen that happening the way it started with his team not only conceding the goal but also relying on their goalkeeper to make the save from tanali [Applause] [Applause] what's to give him there I have a feeling it might have been a foul throw it looks as though the linesman was indicating there was a foot Over The Line [Applause] Herrera tight in there but emerges with [Applause] it here's Abbott gets away from alaron and finds Moreno [Applause] rice here's [Applause] and able to connect with Lewis [Music] [Applause] Hall well they've certainly steadied the ship Forest they've done more than that actually they're looking the more threatening now Newcastle have dropped off that that early pace and his team asking most of the [Music] [Applause] questions there's abber who's playing in his second game for Nottingham Forest tonight the academy product previous one also in this competition now Barnes sticking with him he finds [Applause] Hall be on the reach of K in tripier and with an ice pack on the left thigh Joe willick is back to at least view what's happening even though he can no longer participate but he's made the crucial contribution before he left now there's another issue for the Newcastle Medics to deal with problem for Sandro tanali FL to the face [Applause] Ali on a mission to repay the trust shown in him by Newcastle certainly influential in the start that they made to the game be just just beginning to get his second win now it comes to you quickly your first game [Applause] back but his touch hasn't deserted him [Applause] [Music] how has had to be patient with his second most expensive signing started really well scored on his debut in a 5-1 win over Aston Villa signs towards the end of his 12 match run in the team that he was Finding life difficult but who knows what he was thinking at the time about the off field issues that were about to confront him here's dingz now Moreno inside tribia but on the on was there to TIY [Applause] up he's keeping the pressure up Dominguez to find a way through Sandro is back on the field this weekend in the Premier League we kick off with the Champions Manchester City at West Ham in our Saturday Night Football from 5:00 Sunday's takes us to St james' Park to see Newcastle take on Tottenham kickoff in the program at 1230 on skysports premier league and it's followed at 3:30 by Manchester United against Liverpool with that match kicking off at four burn Under Pressure here for now got away with it yeah not an easy one to deal with that Pope couldn't really come [Applause] [Applause] Dominguez back from Moreno here's Abott [Applause] by now [Applause] bully Tali here's Joe Linton get passing the ball again Newcastle they become a bit passive last 15 minutes Tali does find the ball that almeron needed here's [Applause] isach certainly a baptism of fire for this man caros Miguel [Applause] here's Anderson Joe linon Anderson threads it through to [Applause] jot now has overrun it well he's got three or four teammates waiting for the ball into the box just needed to shift it and cross who's playing under the current Brighton manager faan Hera at Sali although he did only make a one senior appearance in their promotion campaign [Applause] on E shter finds morera DB against LS H to earn Forest the throw in [Applause] tries to Hur it in but not the direction that b really wanted it in [Applause] here burn craft K [Applause] rice on by tanali and on just couldn't keep it the right side of the line for Newcastle struggling to get into nothing Forest half never mind about threaten the goal New Castle at the moment maybe har will be little concerned the way this first half is panned out after the perfect [Applause] start open now by Dan buring so operates in the deer area than Newcastle really want to see him but he's won the free [Applause] [Applause] kick some arm there that he took advantage of the last three meetings of these teams have all been won by the aways side here's Harvey Barnes B delivers in an area where no Newcastle player was isach alaron cuts it back Barnes looking for some room which B wasn't prepared to afford [Applause] him here's Hall [Applause] bars [Applause] Tali it's Kieran trippier now [Applause] Tali craft Joe Linson b a spel in you casis is a it away and Leno has set sza away [Applause] [Applause] when you've suffered such bad away form as Newcastle did last season clean sheets on the road will be really welcome but this Newcastle defense is having to do a lot of defending this was one of the grounds where they won although twice they lost the lead before finally completing the 3-2 success [Applause] here's tanali [Applause] h b [Applause] [Music] now craft isach now one escapes from Lewis Hall hope had judged it right yeah he wanted that combination either way around really or want chasing onto it rather than J [Music] Silva first game that only has started for Forest since their FA Cup defeat by Manchester United last [Applause] febru and free Kick this free kick he may we hope to pick up the pieces [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] swings the kick in it was a really dangerous one and Pope had no idea then whether to stick or twist no he didn't it was an absolute Beauty wasn't it it was whipped with such pace pop just decided to St his [Music] line it's one of those well it's close to being offside there V might have had it if we'd have had it here there are no lines to be drawn on tonight there had been there would have been some questions asked Newcastle from their own V Escape of the weekend craft here goes Sandro tanali again Almer On's ball in Joon it's beyond him Cross by Hall cleared by B gimmer [Music] IAL for gimmer I and he got a sympathetic hearing it's one of those that sometimes you get and other times you don't not sure about that at all it's a slight pull back there by Dominguez but quite often you get away with those but has been pulled back for the free kick and we're into the 4 minutes additional time in this first half a half that started so well for Newcastle but which they haven't really taken full advantage of in terms of a a rookie goalkeeper in this level of football in Europe should your under pressure from Ramon [Applause] Sak the energy levels are farest to been first class made life really uncomfortable for the Newcastle [Applause] [Applause] here's morera it's got away from [Applause] Hall shot his cross back to him by Dan [Applause] bur sa up there on his own [Applause] Jones just offering some words of wisdom to Eddie how yeah I think if be believe to hear the halftime whistle how has been a good recovery from that setb [Music] [Music] Anderson here's Dominguez [Applause] oh he's just looking for that bit of quality in the final third they've had chances to get good balls into the box chances that they've passed [Applause] up here's Omar vadeli [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Anderson Well the very definition of a perfect start for Newcastle who will a goal up inside the first 20 seconds thanks to Joe willik making the most of a goalkeeper spill Sandro tanali on his return to the team was involved in that and could have made it too but Newcastle haven't built on it Forest have grown into the game with the likes of jota Silva and at halim it is only Nottingham Forest nil Newcastle won
