Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak scored the winning goal in a 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur. The win moves Newcastle closer to the top four in the Premier League.
Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak continued his rich vein of form with another goal on Saturday to help his side beat injury-hit Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 away in the Premier League and move closer to the top four. Isak scored eight league goals in December and struck again just before halftime to give Newcastle the lead after they had fallen behind to a Dominic Solanke header in the fourth minute.
Solanke's goal had lifted the mood among home fans on a freezing day in north London, but Tottenham's lead was quickly snuffed out when Anthony Gordon fired home an equaliser. Tottenham were the better side after the break with Brennan Johnson hitting the post and James Maddison going close, but Newcastle hung on through 10 minutes of stoppage time for a fifth successive Premier League win. Eddie Howe's side moved level on 35 points with fourth-placed Chelsea who play at Crystal Palace later on Saturday while struggling Tottenham stay 11th with 24 points. The respective form of the two sides could not have been more different heading into the new year with Newcastle on a four-match winning streak and Tottenham having managed only one win in their previous seven Premier League game
