Alexander Isak comes from a successful national team break with three goals in two matches. But in the Premier League and Newcastle, it's not going quite as well.
In the first match after the break, the Swede had to leave the pitch goalless after just one half away against Wolverhampton. Moreover, he left the pitch bleeding, after getting a shot in the face just before halftime. Isak thus remains on one goal after four played matches.
Newcastle has started the season somewhat shaky, and when the team visited Wolverhampton on Sunday afternoon, Eddie Howe's men started in the same way.
The home team took the lead in the first half, when captain Mario Lemina finished off a pattern attack. Then, Wolves continued to push, and Eddie Howe decided to act at halftime. Three substitutions, where Alexander Isak was one of the players who was substituted out. Something that had an effect.
Newcastle turned the match around and won 2–1 after center-back Fabian Schär first equalized and one of the substitutes, Harvey Barnes, decided the match with a dream goal.
