The man shown the exit door by Eddie Howe has come back to haunt him. Newcastle’s poor recent form continues and the Howe would be looking to step into the transfer market and sort out his team’s issues.
Fans are stunned with his Woods performance and have taken to X to express their feelings.
Chris Wood, I was not familiar with your game. What a goal.

Chris Wood? Is that you? Lionel Messi would have been proud of that goal mate.
