Newcastle United suffered their second home defeat of the Premier League season, losing 3-1 to Nottingham Forest at St James’ Park. This marked the sixth defeat in seven games across all competitions for Newcastle, with former Magpies striker Chris Wood leading the charge for Forest.
Wood, who scored only once at St James’ Park as a Newcastle player, secured a quick hat-trick around halftime, sealing the victory for his current team.
The disappointing result followed Newcastle’s recent defeats at Kenilworth Road and their Carabao Cup exit against Chelsea. Alan Shearer succinctly summarized the Tyneside afternoon, stating, “Brilliant Forest. Shocking Newcastle.”
