Newcastle 3 Wolves 0: Isak can’t stop scoring as he bags double to help Toon ease back into top 4
Share:
ALEXANDER ISAK made it EIGHT in a row as he fired Toon to Cloud Nine. The Swedish superstar, 25, achieved a feat that even the legendary Alan Shearer failed to. The striker became only the fourth player in the Premier League era to score in eight consecutive top-flight matches, hitting a deadly double against Wolves.

And that helped Newcastle to secure a ninth straight win in all competitions to lift them above Chelsea into fourth. That stunning winning run equalled the amount that Kevin Keegan and Rafa Benitez knocked up with Eddie Howe now chasing a club-record number ten against Bournemouth on Saturday.

It was in-form Jacob Murphy, who provided yet another assist for Isak, got the action started when he tested Jose Sa first time. Bruno Guimaraes fed the winger out wide on the right, and he cut in on to his left foot and pulled the trigger from the edge of the area only for the ‘keeper to palm it away.

However, any thoughts of the Magpies storming through the strugglers from Molineux were quickly over. Things have picked up since Vitor Pereira took over last month and they looked a dangerous proposition as they nearly caught Howe’s side cold. Hwang Hee-Chan’s cutback from the left was deflected straight into the path of Goncalo Guedes, only the Portuguese international dragged a low strike wide of the far post.
