Nuno Espirito Santo spoke to BBC Sport after Nottingham Forest's defeat against Newcastle: "I cannot say that was a bad performance, that is totally out of the question. We played against a very good team that was able to control us and then hurt us in the way we've been doing. It is a lesson for us to learn.

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.

It’s matchday! Nottingham Forest take on Newcastle United in their final game before the international break - and you can follow the action, right here. The Reds go into the match in terrific form. Last weekend’s 3-0 thumping of West Ham United made it three Premier League wins in a row for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side and saw them go third in the table.
