Isak’s latest contribution, a deflected 34th-minute strike and a cool finish after being picked out by Bruno Guimaraes 12 minutes after the break, laid the foundation for victory over Wolves before he set up Anthony Gordon to cement the win 24 hours after Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Manchester City all dropped points.

Newcastle United supporters watched with glee as the Swede netted for the eight consecutive top-flight fixture in a row. His brace helped the Magpies down Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 at St James’ Park.
