Super sub Alexander Isak popped up with the winning goal against Fulham - then admitted he knew the magic moment was destined to come his way at St James' Park.
Isak scored his first goal since coming back from a thigh injury - which sidelined him for almost four months - and paid back another slice of the £63million record fee Newcastle paid to Real Sociedad. The winner came in the 89th minute with Newcastle holding on to the three points and denting the Cottagers' 100 per cent record since the World Cup break.
Isak said after the game: "It means a lot. We needed that win to keep going in the direction we have been going in for some time. It felt great and it was always special coming on and scoring a late winner."
