Newcastle United soared into the Premier League’s top four after a commanding 3-0 win over Wolves, powered by Alexander Isak’s dazzling performance.
The Swedish forward delivered a brace and an assist, continuing his remarkable scoring streak of eight consecutive Premier League games—a feat matched by only three players in league history.
Isak’s first goal came with a slice of luck as a deflected shot off Wolves’ defender Rayan Ait-Nouri found the net in the 34th minute. His second, however, showcased pure class.
Latching onto Bruno Guimaraes’ perfectly timed pass, Isak slotted the ball past Jose Sa with ease in the 60th minute. Later, he set up Anthony Gordon’s composed finish, sealing Newcastle’s emphatic victory.
After the match, Eddie Howe praised Isak’s contributions, emphasizing the importance of his adaptability and technical skills. “We encourage him to get on the ball as much as possible.
He’s earned that freedom within our system,” Howe said. Addressing transfer rumors linking Isak to Arsenal, Manchester United, and Barcelona, Howe urged the striker to ignore distractions and focus on Newcastle’s objectives.
Isak himself credited the team’s collective efforts. “It’s not just about scoring goals; it’s about defending as well. We’ve been solid on both ends, and that’s made all the difference,” he said. Reflecting on his ability to block out external noise, the striker highlighted the team’s calm focus, which he believes has driven their success.
With Newcastle in formidable form, their rise to the Premier League elite seems unstoppable, thanks in no small part to their in-form talisman, Alexander Isak.
