Newcastle Soars to Victory over Tottenham with Alexander Isak's Double

Exciting times at St. James' Park as Newcastle United took a decisive victory over Tottenham, bolstering their chances for European football next season. Swedish born striker, Alexander Isak, showcased his scoring prowess, netting two goals - one in each half. This made his sixth consecutive home turf scoring effort.


After 24 appearances this Premier League season, Isak now boasts 17 goals to his name. Match peers, Anthony Gordan and Fabian Schar, joined him in adding to Newcastle's tally. Despite Tottenham's Timo Werner having a pair of chances, the finish eluded him.

This comprehensive victory pushed Newcastle to sixth on the league table, shaking up Manchester United, who previously held the spot before their tie with Bournemouth. Tottenham's defeat left them in fifth place, slipping below Aston Villa due to goal difference.

Isak's performance further sealed his status among Newcastle's lineage of high-performing strikers including names like Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole. Notably, only these two have netted more in successive games in the Premier League era compared to Isak.

The game also saw a notable moment when Newcastle introduced "sound shirts" that allow deaf fans to experience the noise at St. James' Park. Newcastle captain Dan Burn used sign language to express "love the fans" during the celebrations that followed Isak's first goal of the day.

Unfortunately, Tottenham massively stumbled after failing to find the net, a surprising occurrence given that they've had a nearly uninterrupted scoring streak in their past 43 league matches. Spurs' manager, Ange Postecoglou, must now work to uplift his team as they prepare to face Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City in four of their next five matches.
