Newcastle United defeats Nottingham Forest on penalties, and Alan Shearer gives his immediate assessment.

There was a sense of relief from Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer as the Magpies advanced to the next round of the Carabao Cup.

After 90 minutes of a 1-1 draw between the two Premier League teams, Eddie Howe’s team had to win on penalties.

Joe Willock had given Newcastle United the lead in the opening minute. Although it was a lightning-fast start, the Magpies lost ground as a result.

After Jota Silva equalised in the second half, they were pushed back.

Into the next round 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #CarabaoCup phewwwwwwww!!!

On the evening that Sandro Tonali made his first appearance in ten months, Newcastle rallied late on but failed to find a winner within ninety minutes. Even though Kevin Nolan saw Tonali breathing heavily within the first fifteen minutes of his return, the 24-year-old performed incredibly well!

Oh come on man, a long throw 🤬🤬🤬 #CarabaoCup
