Alexander Isak stepped up for Newcastle United as they drew 3-3 with Liverpool on Wednesday evening.
It is becoming a recurring theme this season that Newcastle United turn up against the bigger opponents in the Premier League.
Sorry, We Need To Talk About Hull City (Again)
After a toothless display against Crystal Palace on the weekend, Newcastle came racing out the blocks at St James’ Park and had the Premier League leaders worried.
Arne Slot raved about Newcastle fans ahead of the clash and supporters roared on the side and produced an electric atmosphere at home.
Eddie Howe deserves praise for his team selection with Sandro Tonali superb in midfield, while Newcastle looked far more dangerous going forward than they have in recent weeks.
Alexander Isak opened the scoring with a thunderous effort from range, but before that he wasted an opportunity that ended up as a big talking point between Gary Neville and Roy Keane.

What Gary Neville and Roy Keane said about Alexander Isak
Newcastle got off to a flying start at St James’ Park and had a golden chance to open the scoring when Isak was played through on goal 12 minutes in.
However, instead of taking the opportunity to shoot he tried to play the ball across the six-yard box for an easy finish. It was cut out by Liverpool’s defence, which caused a dispute between pundits Neville and Keane.
“Don’t cross it! You can’t cross that,” Neville said on The Overlap’s live watchalong.
“No he’s got to cross it, he should’ve crossed it a bit earlier but he’s got to cross it Nev. It’s on his left foot, he’s got to cross it, “Keane replied.
“No it’s so close to goal, he’s got to shoot. He should put it on his right and shoot.” replied Neville.
Alexander Isak looked back to his best vs Liverpool
Isak wanted to repay Newcastle fans for their pre-match display against West Ham, and he certainly stepped up against Liverpool.
There has been a lot of talk about Isak’s contract situation with talks postponed until the end of the season. Arsenal remain interested in signing Isak but he showed on Wednesday that his full focus is on Newcastle.

He is now Newcastle’s top scorer in all competitions after his superb finish against the Reds.
Up against Virgil van Dijk, Isak had the better of the Dutchman on multiple occasions and was unlucky not to add another to his tally.
