EPL: Isak Matches Premier League Record as Newcastle Sink Spurs

Newcastle United came from behind to defeat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1, extending their winning streak to six games in all competitions.
.  Alexander Isak scored the winning goal, his seventh consecutive Premier League match finding the net, joining Newcastle legends Alan Shearer and Joe Willock in achieving the feat.
.  Anthony Gordon equalized for Newcastle just two minutes after Dominic Solanke’s early opener, setting the stage for Isak’s decisive strike and another home defeat for Tottenham.

Alexander Isak extended his remarkable scoring streak as Newcastle United rallied from an early deficit to secure a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, handing Ange Postecoglou’s side another home defeat and stretching Newcastle’s winning streak to six games in all competitions.

The Magpies entered Saturday’s Premier League clash in dazzling form but fell behind within three minutes when Pedro Porro’s in-swinging cross was expertly headed in by Dominic Solanke.

EDITOR’S PICKS 

Newcastle responded instantly as Anthony Gordon fired a precise low shot into the far corner past Spurs debutant goalkeeper Brandon Austin, equalizing just two minutes later. England manager Thomas Tuchel watched on as Spurs protested that Joelinton had handled Lucas Bergvall’s pass in the buildup, but officials ruled the contact accidental, allowing the goal to stand.

Isak came close to scoring after the half-hour mark, dragging a Jacob Murphy cross wide, but the Swedish striker made no mistake moments later. A deflected delivery from Murphy fell perfectly for Isak, who calmly slotted home to make it 2-1. The goal marked his seventh consecutive Premier League match finding the net, joining Newcastle legends Alan Shearer and Joe Willock in achieving the feat.

Tottenham improved in the second half and nearly equalized when Brennan Johnson’s strike hit the woodwork after Martin Dubravka parried Pape Sarr’s long-range effort. Substitute James Maddison and Sergio Reguilon both came close, but Spurs failed to find a breakthrough, succumbing to their fifth home league defeat of the season.

Newcastle’s triumph solidifies their impressive form, while Tottenham’s struggles at home continue under Postecoglou.
