The Premier League sees Mohamed Salah at the top of the goalscoring leaderboard with 25 goals, while Alexander Isak of Newcastle has emerged as a standout player, particularly after his performance in their recent 4-3 victory against Nottingham Forest. This season has seen Newcastle deliver mixed performances, alternating between heavy losses and impressive wins. Despite a shaky start against Forest, Isak's contributions were crucial in securing vital points. Meanwhile, fellow competitor Erling Haaland remains in the race for the title with 19 goals, amidst injury concerns.
This weekend tilted the balance of striker power in the direction of the Swedish forward. While Haaland was out injured as Liverpool beat City 2-0, Isak earned man of the match honors during Newcastle's nervy 4-3 victory against fellow top-four contenders Nottingham Forest.
Somehow, Sunday's home match against Forest was Newcastle at both its worst and its high-flying best. I'll knock out the former pattern first: Giving up the opener at home in the sixth minute is not what any team wants.
Isak wasn’t involved in the first Newcastle goal, coming from a free kick after a foul was committed on him. However, he contributed to the lively comeback.
Newcastle is a bit of a mystery this season, capable of ugly losses... and also of soaring victories against the best teams in the country.
