'Simply superb' Isak scores again

Alexander Isak has scored in six consecutive home games for Newcastle United and is the first player to score 20 goals since Alan Shearer in 2003-04. The 24-year-old has netted 27 in 46 games since he joined from Real Sociedad in August 2022 for a fee in the region of £60m. Isak's double against Tottenham on Saturday took him to 17 league goals this season - the joint highest by a Swedish player in a campaign along with Zlatan Ibrahimovic's total at Manchester United in 2016-17.
