- 3 Newcastle stars who stood out in the season opener for the Magpies.
Alexander Isak
Returning from a breakthrough 2023/24 campaign, where he gave a tough fight to the City forward Erling Haaland for the PL Top scorer, the Swedish striker has started his new campaign in a similar fashion. Even though the club didn't have a brilliant outing on the offensive, Isak combined with Joelinton to give the Magpies the match-decisive goal.
Just before the first half, the center forward grabbed the brilliant opportunity off a mistake from McCathry, finding a clear Joelinton, making it 1-0 for Newcastle. Considering the forward's recent form for the club, it is clear that he would be the man to look out for when the club would need decisive goals. Starting the season with an impactful assist, the Swedish man would have much hope for himself in the long season ahead.
