Alexander Isak continued his red-hot form and extended his scoring streak in the 2-0 win over Arsenal.
Is there a better striker in world football at the moment? Eddie Howe wouldn’t swap Alexander Isak for anyone, and that is a feeling shared by the entire Newcastle United fanbase.
Isak has scored in eight consecutive games and has now found the back of the net 10 times in his last eight games. A remarkable record for a remarkable player.
Against Arsenal on Tuesday evening, Isak was the standout player on the pitch after scoring the opener and setting up Anthony Gordon to double Newcastle’s lead.
Even Mikel Arteta praised Isak after the full-time whistle, suggesting that his clinical finishing was the difference between the two sides on the night.

Isak has already scored 15 in 22 appearances this season and has started 2025 in sensational form.
