Attack Nottingham Forest Chris Wood went down in history English Premier League as the fourth football player who managed to distinguish himself hat-trick against the team for which he played earlier in this tournament.
Today, December 26, the New Zealand football player gave a benefit performance in the Lesnikov away match against Newcastle. Forest was losing 0:1, but then the 32-year-old center forward scored three goals from the 45th to the 60th minute.

- Marcus Bent (Wigan) to Blackburn in 2007;
- Joshua King (Watford) to Everton in 2021.
