Nick Pope says Alexander Isak was like a wizard with his moment of individual brilliance in Newcastle United's fourth goal at Goodison Park in midweek. The Magpies would run out 4-1 winners to take a step closer to Champions League football, with Isak showing why he deserves to be playing in Europe's elite competition.
The Swedish striker came off the bench for a late cameo, with Everton scoring to make it 3-1 approaching the final few minutes of the game. Sean Dyche's side were pushing for a winner, but the Magpies record transfer signing went on a mazy run down the left hand side, starting just inside the Everton half and getting right down to the byline, before setting up Jacob Murphy for a tap in.
Isak was denied the official assist given his cutback took a slight deflection, which seems harsh given just how special his run was right in front of the travelling Toon Army.
