Running out of steam? Or running towards glory?

Newcastle may have fallen over the line in seeing off Nottingham Forest but their endeavour during the win was noteworthy.

The Magpies clocked 109.6km of running as a team compared to 103.47km for Forest.

Furthermore the Magpies produced 173 sprints, with Forest on 35 less.

Are Nuno Espirito Santo's side running out of steam given their superb season so far? Or are Eddie Howe's side finding that extra bit of hustle at the business end of the season.

Bruno Guimaraes (11.7km) and Lewis Miley (11.2km) broke the 11km barrier, with no Forest player doing so.

Left-back Lewis Hall was the busiest player on the day with a game-high of 96 touches. He completed 89% of his passes but an impressive 92% of passes he attempted in the final third.

No player had more duels than Hall's 17 and the former Chelsea player won 11 of them. Hall created three chances on the day, with only Forest's Chris Wood reaching the same figure.
