The Magpies striker fired in his 20th top-flight goal of the campaign on the stroke of half time of their clash against Brentford at St James’ Park on Wednesday night.
Isak finished from close range in first half stoppage-time to give Newcastle the lead
Isak has been one of the Premier League’s standout players this term
Isak found the back of the net in stoppage-time of the first half in what is his tenth goal on home soil this season.
It was a routine finish for the Sweden forward, who tapped the ball home as he connected with a sublime Jacob Murphy cross from the right to finish a swift Magpies counter-attack.
Isak was helped by tracking Bees player Bryan Mbeumo slipping over as he tried to head the ball away before it got to the goalscorer.
But take nothing away from the Newcastle hero, who has been sublime this term, and ever since he walked through the door at St James’ Park.
In doing so, Isak has become just the third Newcastle star after Alan Shearer and Andy Cole to record double digits in terms of goals both in Tyneside and on the road.
Cole, who went on to become a legend at Manchester United, was the first to do so – achieving the feat in the 1993/94 term.
He found the back of the net on 24 occasions at St James’ Park, with 12 of his strikes coming away from home.
The Premier League’s all-time top scorer Shearer had been the last Newcastle player to match Cole’s record following his impressive 2001/02 season.
Of his 23 top-flight goals, 12 came in front of his adoring supporters at home, with 11 coming on his travels.
Isak’s latest goal has also seen him become the third player this season to break the 20-goal mark in the Premier League.
