Nick Woltemade Pens Historic Hat-trick in Newcastle’s Premier League Run
Sovereign Victory Over Nottingham Forest
Nick Woltemade has done it again. The 23-year-old German international scored the final goal in Newcastle’s sovereign victory over Nottingham Forest, leading to a 2-0 home win on Sunday.
“Woltemade didn’t make a mistake when he hammered the ball into the upper left corner,” commented The Sun.
“If you are new to a club, a new country, new league, then it will definitely be good if you score goals directly. I wanted to shoot it and then shot it in well.– Nick Woltemade, quoted by Sky
Woltemade’s Historic Achievement
This goal was not only crucial but also historical for Woltemade and Newcastle United. For the German international, it was his fourth goal in just his seventh competitive game, following his match-winning strike in the Champions League against Union Saint-Gilloise.
More remarkably, Woltemade’s goal on Sunday afternoon marked a historic feat:
- He became only the third player in Newcastle’s history to score in his first three home games in the Premier League.
“I am impressed. I would not have typed on him that he shoots the 911. People are thrilled. He has now hit.”– Former German international Thomas Hitzlsperger on Sky
Fans’ Adoration and Woltemade’s Humility
Shortly after his penalty, Woltemade was substituted, but not before receiving a roaring round of applause and chants from the fans at St. James’ Park.
“If you score a goal here, you get a nice song. And because I already have three homes, I could always listen to it and then there is always a little extra motivation,” admitted Woltemade.
The German forward also attributed his successful start in the Premier League to the warm reception he received from the fans and the help of those around him.
