Newcastle 3 Nottingham Forest 1
Newcastle will end 2016 on top of the Sky Bet Championship table after Friday night's 3-1 win against Nottingham Forest.
Matt Ritchie gave United an early lead but the visitors levelled through Nicolao Dumitru.
However, two quickfire yellow cards for Forest skipper Matt Mills swung the game in the Magpies' favour, and Dwight Gayle struck twice against the ten men to give Rafa Benitez's men a 3-1 victory in front of their highest crowd of the season.
