Alexander Isak scored two goals to give Newcastle victory over Nottingham Forest on Friday and take them closer to the Champions League. His performance, however, is captivating fans who see him as the new Thierry Henry. His graceful movement and excellent ball handling are a feast for the eyes.
Nottingham are not in good form, having not won a single one of their last 5 games and extended that streak on Friday night. Dangerously close to the relegation zone with 18. Bournemouth just two points clear.
Newcastle, on the other hand, confirmed their improving results, beating Wolves and now the aforementioned team of coach Steve Cooper after two defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City.
However, the 23-year-old Swedish striker, who scored both of Newcastle’s goals, is especially praised by the fans, allowing him to boast 6 accurate goals in 10 league games.
However, we must definitely highlight Keylor Navas’s first shot into the net, when he had to hit the ball that flew behind him. However, this was no problem thanks to his long legs and he was able to celebrate the equaliser with the fans afterwards.
The second goal, like the first one – 46th minute, was added again in injury time, this time coming from a penalty, which means that Newcastle can currently boast 47 points, with 4. Tottenham are only a point behind and have a game to spare.
His performance was immediately dissected, with many fans comparing him to the legendary Frenchman who scored goals in an Arsenal jersey. “I haven’t seen anyone like him in the Premier League since Henry left!”
Given his young age, Isak is expected to get better every season. But it will also be important that he avoids injuries, which have prevented him from starting about 15 games this season.
However, Newcastle will already welcome Manchester United in the next round. However, this match will take place after the national break on April 2.
