Hughton hails 'immense' Nolan

Newcastle skipper Kevin Nolan grabbed the derby headlines with a hat-trick as Sunderland suffered a horror show on Tyneside.

The 28-year-old fired the home side into a 2-0 lead within 34 minutes, and after Shola Ameobi had helped himself to a brace either side of Titus Bramble’s 53rd-minute dismissal, completed the scoring 15 minutes from time on a dream day for the Magpies.
