Isak scored two goals in the Premier League's early Saturday kick-off, as Newcastle thumped Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 at St James’ Park.

Isak is now also only the fourth Newcastle player ever to score in six consecutive home Premier League games. Alongside Les Ferdinand (6), Andrew Cole (8) and Alan Shearer (15).

Anthony Gordon and Fabian Schär also scored, taking Newcastle 6th in the English top-flight.

In Newcastle's last two home league games against Spurs, they're winning 10-1.
