Alexander Isak has made a 'fabulous start' to his Newcastle United career after netting on his Premier League debut. That is the view of Gary Lineker, who took to social media to praise the Sweden international during the Magpies heartbreaking defeat at Liverpool on Wednesday night.
Isak travelled with Eddie Howe's side for the draw at Wolves on Sunday afternoon, but was unable to make his first appearance in black-and-white due to a delay in being granted a work permit. Newcastle's head coach admitted the 22-year-old was also a doubt ahead of the midweek clash on Merseyside, but the summer signing was eventually cleared to play just hours ahead of kick-off.
Isak capped a stunning first start for the Magpies with the opening goal on Wednesday night, emphatically finding the top corner after being played in on goal by Sean Longstaff. The forward also found the net after the break, only to be ruled offside following a tight VAR call.
