Alexander Isak is producing the goods at 'exactly the right time' for Newcastle United as they re-ignite their unlikely top-four push. That is the view of Garth Crooks, and the pundit believes the Magpies' dramatic victory at Nottingham Forest played a part in Antonio Conte's press conference meltdown.
Eddie Howe's side shrugged off three straight defeats in all competitions to secure back-to-back victories ahead of the international break. The Magpies now trail Tottenham in fourth place by just two points, and hold two games in hand.
Conte's side spurned a two-goal cushion at St Mary's as basement side Southampton fought back to snatch a point in a 3-3 draw on Saturday. The Tottenham boss took aim at his own players and the owners in the aftermath, with speculation mounting the 53-year-old will not be in charge for the next match at Everton on April 3.
