Chris Wood scored a superb hat-trick against his former club as Nottingham Forest added to Newcastle United's miserable December by winning 3-1 at St James' Park.
Newcastle had taken the lead courtesy of an Alexander Isak penalty in the 23rd minute but Forest deservedly levelled when Wood tapped home an Antony Elanga cross in first-half injury-time.
Minutes earlier, Forest has missed a chance to level when Elanga decided to shoot instead of squaring the ball to his teammate.
Forest made it 2-1 in the 53rd minute after a magnificent run and finish from Wood who only left Tyneside during the summer in a £15 million deal following a loan spell at the City Ground.
