Nuno points to 'important lesson' for Nottingham Forest as winning streak ended by Newcastle
Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has called on Nottingham Forest to learn an “important lesson” from their 3-1 defeat to Newcastle United.
The visitors played the Reds at their own game at the City Ground and came out on top to inflict only a second Premier League defeat of the season on Nuno’s men. Murillo had opened the scoring for the hosts but the Magpies turned the match around as they proved particularly effective on the counterattack.
Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes and Harvey Barnes clinched the three points for Newcastle to end Forest’s three-match winning streak just before the international break. But after the final whistle Nuno emphasised there is still much to be pleased about from his team’s start to the campaign.
“I wouldn’t say it was frustrating. OK, we lost the game but when you lose and when you win there is always a lesson to learn. Today we must learn an important lesson,” said the Portuguese.
“It is easy to see we’ve been punished by the way that we’ve been punishing other teams. That’s a reflection to be made on the game.
“I cannot say it’s a bad performance, honestly. We have to give credit to Newcastle because they are a good team and they were able to control us. They were able to take advantage of some decisions we made when we were rushing our decisions, and they punished us on the counterattack. They have pace and they have quality, and they were lethal with the chances they had.
“I always believe every game gives you a chance to improve and a lesson to take. Today, I think our improvement should be on the momentum of our decisions. We rushed our decisions and were not able to keep the ball enough time to make Newcastle players drop. When you attack and you defend and the team is organised, you know they are going to come. It is something we have to address.
“Even though we lost the game today, I am very pleased. All of us at Forest should be proud of our players and the way we have been working together.”
