Newcastle 3-0 Wolves: Alexander Isak extends goal-scoring streak to eighth game as Magpies climb into top four

web editor

In a stunning display of form, the striker has now scored in eight consecutive Premier League games, shattering a club record and joining an elite group of just four players to achieve this feat. This incredible run of goals has propelled Newcastle United into the highly coveted Champions League spots, with the team securing victory in their last six matches.

Isak's first goal was deflected into the bottom corner of the net via Rayan Ait-Nouri and his second was straightforward, given space inside the Wolves box. The Swede even provided the assist for Newcastle's third, setting up Anthony Gordon to score.

It reflected Newcastle's dominance despite Jorgen Strand Larsen striking the post and Santi Bueno having a goal disallowed. Vitor Pereira's side drop back into the relegation zone following this defeat, their Premier League status looking precarious again.

In contrast, Newcastle, with nine victories in a row in all competitions, look like a team on the up under Eddie Howe. The whole team appear in top form - and it helps that Howe can count on the services of arguably the best striker in Europe right now.
