But newcastle

Premier League: Chris Wood netted a hat-trick as Nottingham Forest returned to winning ways with a thrilling 3-1 victory over Newcastle United here at St. James' Park on Tuesday.

Forest came from behind to produce an excellent turnaround, as Nuno Espírito Santo picked up his first win as head coach. Their victory takes them five points clear of the relegation zone.

Newcastle were fortunate not to fall behind early on when Morgan Gibbs-White won the ball back inside their penalty box before shooting just wide. But the Forest went on to dominate and in the 20th minute Alexander Isak received a pass from Lewis Miley, turned past Ola Aina and won his side a penalty, before stepping up and coolly converting the spot-kick.
