Newcastle United extended their winning streak to nine consecutive games in all competitions with a convincing 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James’ Park on Wednesday night. Alexander Isak scored a brace, breaking a club record by netting in his eighth consecutive Premier League game.
Isak’s impressive form has taken his tally for the season to 15 goals in the top flight, joining an elite group of players to achieve this feat. He is now alongside Jamie Vardy, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Daniel Sturridge, who have all scored in eight successive Premier League matches.
Newcastle’s dominant display saw them move into fourth place with 38 points from 21 games, while Wolves dropped back into the relegation zone with 16 points from the same number of matches. Anthony Gordon sealed the victory with a third goal, set up by Isak’s assist.
Despite some bright moments from Wolves, including a disallowed goal by Santiago Bueno and two shots striking the woodwork, their defensive struggles continued to hinder their performance. In contrast, Newcastle’s winning streak has propelled them into the Champions League spots, with Eddie Howe’s side looking like a team on the rise.
Isak’s incredible form has been a key factor in Newcastle’s success, with the Swedish striker arguably one of the best in Europe right now. With the whole team in top form, Newcastle’s future looks bright, while Wolves’ Premier League status remains precarious.
