ChronicleLive readers voted Alexander Isak as Newcastle United’s best player in the 2-0 defeat to Manchester City. Despite playing just 27 minutes, fans scored the Swede 6.7 out of 10.
Most of the pre-match talk centred around Isak once Eddie Howe named him on the bench for the Eastlands trip. Trusted lieutenant Callum Wilson was given the nod but fluffed a golden opportunity to equalise in the first half.
Shortly after his introduction, Isak skinned Manuel Akanji on the byline and calls will likely ramp up for him to start against Wolverhampton Wanderers next weekend. Jamaal Lascelles blocked out the noise to put in a respected performance at the Etihad Stadium.
