His remarkable achievement unfolded at St. James’ Park, where he scored his 20th goal of the season, propelling Newcastle ahead of their rivals.
Isak’s feat is historic: he becomes the first player since Alan Shearer to achieve this milestone for Newcastle United since the 2003-2004 season.
The Toons’ faithful erupted in celebration as Isak’s goal set the stage for victory. Later, Anthony Gordon doubled the lead, securing a 4-0 win for the Magpies.

Since his record-breaking £63 million move from Real Sociedad in 2022, Isak has become a fan favorite. His elegance, movement, and natural goalscoring instinct have endeared him to the Geordie faithful, with some even dubbing him the new “numero uno” at Gallowgate.
Over the past five decades, only a select few players have reached the coveted 20-goal mark in the Premier League for Newcastle.
Legends like Malcolm Macdonald and Andy Cole, who bagged a club record 41 goals in a single season, are etched in the club’s storied history. And now, alongside these greats, Alexander Isak shines brightly, leaving his mark on Newcastle United’s football legacy.
