Newcastle United made a comfortable start to the new season thanks to goals from Fabian Schar and Callum Wilson in a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, giving the visitors an unhappy return to the Premier League after a 23-year absence.
Newcastle took the lead through the unlikeliest of goalscorers when centre back Schar let fly from the edge of the penalty area just before the hour mark, before Wilson struck 10 minutes later to cap a classy opening day display in Tyneside.
With 12 minutes remaining, Forest's Brandon Williams gave the ball away and Saint-Maximin rolled it to Joelinton down the left-hand side. The Brazilian crossed for Wilson, who looped the ball over goalkeeper Dean Henderson with a smart finish. Saint-Maximin, Joelinton, Joe Willock and Miguel Almiron had all seen chances come and go in the first half as Newcastle were unable to find a way past the Forest defence despite registering six out of 14 shots on target and enjoying 65% possession.
