Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has opened up after his side's 3-1 victory over Newcastle on Boxing Day.
It looked as though it would be a tricky day at the office for the visitors when Alexander Isak converted a penalty in the 23rd minute.
However, Forest then came roaring back.
Chris Wood, returning to Newcastle following his departure back in the summer, levelled just before half time.

And the New Zealand international netted twice in the second half to give his side all three points.
Nuno was recently drafted in as a replacement for the popular Chris Cooper at Forest.
Though his first match in charge of the side ended in defeat against Bournemouth last time out, victory over Newcastle has lifted the mood.
And Nuno has told his players to 'enjoy' the result after they rocked Eddie Howe's team.
"It was very good and well deserved," he told Prime Video.
"I think the boys played very well. It's amazing so let's enjoy it."
On his side's game plan, he continued: "We know Newcastle press very high.
"We know when the moment is there, we have to spin and go.
"It's all about their attitude to the game. Now we have to rest and recover.
"The next game is a tough one. I think we can deliver a good game again."
Wood also spoke out after haunting his old side.
The Forest striker admitted he enjoyed the occasion, having struggled for goals during his time at St James' Park.
"We needed three points and it was fantastic for the side to get it," said the Portuguese.
"This is a tough place to come. The boys did extremely well.
"We felt like we did well in the second half, we felt like we were the better side.
