Alexander Isak is in outstanding form.

The silky striker moving on to 21 goals this season in all competitions, as United hammered Tottenham 4-0.

A brilliant afternoon at St James’ Park as Alexander Isak notched another couple of goals and it could and should have been even better for both the striker and Newcastle United.

Alexander Isak speaking to BBC Match of the Day after Newcastle United’s 4-0 annihilation of Tottenham:

“Playing football is really fun at the moment.

“Especially when we have days like this.

“When the fans are like they are always when we play at home, it feels like we are so strong here.

“We have spoken about being more precise with our passes, because Tottenham have a high line, so if we have good passes we can hurt them in behind.

“The service today was incredible.”

Alexander Isak on scoring in a sixth home game in a row:

“You guys in the media always find more records and statistics to be beaten.

“But I just play and do my best.

“It is obviously a nice thing to have.

“We know we can still achieve something this season and end it in a good way.

“We have a lot of energy and momentum now, have turned things around and it is just about keeping on going like this.”
