Wood hat-trick inspires Forest to win at Newcastle

Chris Wood Treble Gives Nuno Espirito Santo First Win As Nottingham Forest Boss
Nuno Espirito Santo clinched his first win in charge of Nottingham Forest as Chris Wood's hat-trick against his former club Newcastle inspired a 3-1 victory, while Liverpool will go top of the Premier League if they avoid defeat at Burnley later on Tuesday. Wood left Newcastle to join Forest in a £15 million ($19 million) deal in June, but had scored only four times for his new club. The 32-year-old New Zealand international managed just two league goals for Newcastle last term, but he surpassed that meagre total with a treble in 60 minutes at St James' Park. Alexander Isak's first half penalty put Newcastle ahead, but Wood equalised just before the break.
