Former Everton defender Ashley Williams has hailed “talented” Newcastle United new boy Alexander Isak. Just hours after being granted permission to play by the UK Home Office, the Swede stunned Anfield to fire the Magpies in front.
However, a controversial offside decision denied Isak the dream start to life on Tyneside when he found the net again in the second half. The 22-year-old shimmied past two Reds defenders and blasted past Alisson only to be thwarted by the linesman’s flag and a tight VAR call.
A dream debut was ultimately snatched away from him when Liverpool equalised before scoring a brutal 98th-minute winner. Despite the defeat, Newcastle fans were still left in awe of their £58million man.
