Alexander Isak shot Newcastle into the Premier

Thirteen goals from the Swede Alexander Isaacnine of them in the last seven games, which means five consecutive victories reflect the moment of inspiration of Newcastle, also victorious in London, in the Tottenham field (1-2) which puts them on the edge of the zone of Premier Champions League.

Eddie Howe’s team is on a roll. Since they beat Leicester just over two weeks ago, everyone has won: Ipswich, Aston Villa, Manchester United and now Tottenham, who are struggling in the lower middle zone, with four games without a win – three losses and a draw – far from your expectations.

Isak is the best attacker in the Premier at the moment. Ahead of the Egyptian Mohamed Salah, from Liverpool, and the Norwegian Erling Haaland, from Manchester City, who are still ahead of him in the scoring rankings. The African has seventeen points and the Scandinavian has fourteen. Now the Norwegian is thirteen. The influence of his goals on the team, however, was greater.

The score near halftime of the clash against Spurs marked victory for the visitors who overcame Ange Postecoglu’s side’s early advantage in a devilish start to the rivalry. A Pedro Porro pass from the right was headed into the net by Dominic Solanke. Two later, in the 6th, Newcastle responded. Pressure from the ‘magpies’ led to Tottenham losing the ball early on. Bruno Guimaraes took the ball and helped Anthony Gordon cross the shot past Brandon Austin and score the equalizer.

Isak’s goal, in the 38th minute, was the typical striker’s goal, from the goalmouth, born on a cross from the wing of Valentino Livramento, Romanian central defender Radu Dragusin failed to clear and the former Real Sociedad attacker pushed the grid.

Eddie Howe’s team fought off an attempted local reaction but held on to their lead until the end. Newcastle are aiming for the Champions League. They are fifth, level on points with Chelsea, fourth, two behind Nottingham Forest, third. Tottenham are now eleventh, seven behind Europe.
