Chris Wood has scored a hat-trick to give Nottingham Forest a 2-goal lead against Newcastle United at St James’ Park.

Newcastle went 1-0 up after Aleksander Isak scored through a penalty that he won himself.

Now, Chris Wood, against his former club has given a performance of a lifetime and scored a hat-trick for the Premier League minnows.

The man shown the exit door by Eddie Howe has come back to haunt him. Newcastle’s poor recent form continues and the Howe would be looking to step into the transfer market and sort out his team’s issues.

Fans are stunned with his Woods performance and have taken to X to express their feelings.
