Newcastle United returned to the top of the Championship table with a 3-1 victory over 10-man Nottingham Forest on Friday.
Matt Ritchie put the hosts ahead after just four minutes - firing in a deflected free-kick to notch his fourth league goal of the season.
Nicolao Dumitru-Cardosa equalised for Forest with their first real chance of the match before Matt Mills was sent off for two bookable offences within the space of a minute shortly after the break.
Newcastle made the most of their man advantage - Dwight Gayle scoring a brace to move Rafa Benitez's side one point clear of Brighton, who saw their match against Cardiff postponed due to fog.
