Now let Newcastle wipe away the heartache of Anfield and go blazing for the three points against Crystal Palace which have eluded them since the opening Premier League day. Maybe United's unbeaten record was cruelly ripped from their grasp in the 98th minute at Liverpool but 50,000 Geordies have an opportunity to welcome a potential new hero into their midst with a roar loud enough to waken the dead.
You have to acknowledge that Alexander Isak has style. He signed off at Real Sociedad by scoring against Barcelona and signed on for United with another goal against Liverpool. Historically two world powers.
And what a stunner it was to gain a magnificent United a deserved half-time lead. He could easily have notched a second too with a clever pull back and ice cool finish that I swear was chalked off by the width of the hairs on his right leg. Indeed when the ball hit the back of the net for a second time my memory transported me back to SuperMac's home debut in the seventies. He scored a hat-trick against another quality Liverpool side but it was at home of course.
