Nottingham Forest boss Nuno was happy with his players after their 3-2 win at Newcastle.

Forest twice pulled the scores level before Bruno Guimaraes' winner for the visitors.

Nuno said: "Good performance, we did a lot of things good. Some things bad that really cost us. We didn't defend well the corner for the third goal but overall we played good. The boys fight and we had chances to make a difference.

"We require focus and concentration and being aggressive - attacking the ball and solving the problem and not being too passive. We are not there."

On the penalty decisions, he also said: "It's hard - I'm very polite in these situations. I don't like to interfere too much but when VAR have time to see and check it over and over again they don't see what I see. It happens, let's move on. More important for me is to try and look how we play. We did well, we created a lot of situations. Controlling the game in the second half, playing good. We have to be focussed and look at details.

"Final decision was good, we had one v ones with the goalkeeper. We are finding the right space but we need to improve on the finishing.

"We've been working very hard, the boys are committed. It's about trying to convert results from spells of good football. And we have to improve defensively."
