Newcastle fans and fantasy football managers have been left fuming after Alexander Isak wasn't awarded the assist for Jacob Murphy's goal in Thursday's emphatic 4-1 win against Everton.
Isak, who joined the Magpies last summer for a club-record £63million, produced a magical solo run to set Murphy up late in the second half, but his pass took a slight deflection off Everton defender James Tarkowski.
As a result, the Swedish striker - who drew comparions with Thiery Henry for his stunning piece of skill - wasn't officially given the assist, leaving punters baffled considering the goal was all about him as Newcastle bolstered their Champions League hopes in style.
