Ian Wright’s one word reaction to outrageous Alexander Isak assist in Newcastle’s win over Everton

Ian Wright has summed up every Newcastle United supporter watching Alexander Isak's second-half cameo in the 4-1 win over Everton.

The Swedish international came off the bench as Eddie Howe's side turned the screw. Isak picked the ball up just inside the Toffes half, beat a number of Everton defenders and cut the ball back to Jacob Murphy for the Magpies' fourth.

It was one of the assists of the season, only for the official statistics to harshly take it away from him after a deflection off an Everton player inside the six-yard box.

Wright took to Twitter and said: "Wow." There were plenty of Newcastle United supporters in agreement, with Howe also hailing the run from Isak.

The Magpies head coach said: "I couldn't really see what was happening. I've seen it back on the telly, and the amount of turns and twists and stepovers he did - an incredible piece of skill. He has incredible ball manipulation."

The Toon are nine points clear of Liverpool, eight clear of Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur. Howe's men also created a two point buffer between themselves and Manchester United after their draw with Spurs.
