Alexander Isak is a Premier League big-six defender’s worst nightmare, and he is back on the scoresheet for the Magpies against Liverpool this evening.
The Swede has seen his usual scintillating form stutter at times this season, but he remains a major threat in the biggest of clashes for Newcastle United.
Against Premier League leaders Liverpool this evening, Isak opened the scoring with an absolute rocket to continue his staggering record against the big-six.
The goal saw Isak extend his tally to 10 goals against big-six opposition, level with Erling Haaland — though Haaland needed three penalties to hit that tally, Isak needed none!
Newcastle are seemingly a sleeping giant in the Premier League. But if Isak gets hot once again, there is no telling what their ceiling might be.
