How the ‘incredible’ Newcastle triumph was received in the Nottingham Forest dressing room.

Stars from Nottingham Forest took to social media after defeating Newcastle United 3-1.

With a hat-trick against his old team, Chris Wood helped Forest break a seven-game losing streak at St James’ Park. Nuno Espirito Santo had not won since taking over the team the previous week.

Nuno who singled out the New Zealander for praise, said after the match. “Against Bournemouth, he did amazing work and worked really hard for the team. Everyone knows Chris Wood because he has been in the game a while now, but the way he did it today.”

“How he scored, how we was in the right moments. The second goal is beautiful, the one-v-one, then the composure to just flick the ball over the goalkeeper. Thank you for the job today, Chris. I really hope he does it again because the talent is there.”

“It was hard work. We have to congratulate the players because they did fantastic work. Credit to the players because we arrived only a few days ago, so all the things we are trying they are getting. We credit them for their hard work. I think we played well. It was a well deserved win.

We are learning. It is a learning process, which you get from games. We were always a big threat on the counter, we had speed and Chris Wood had an amazing game. It was fantastic.”

Morgan Gibbs-White: “What a performance! Congratulations brother, Chris Wood.”
