Alexander Isak nearly cried in shock as Newcastle defeated Tottenham 5-0

On Sunday, April 23, Alexander Isak, a star for Newcastle United, found it difficult to comprehend what was happening as his team completely destroyed Tottenham Hotspur in a mind-boggling first half.

The first half of what, on paper, seemed to be a close match between two teams vying for fourth place was everything but a battle as the revitalized Newcastle absolutely controlled the action.

Soon after the game began, Hugo Lloris mishandled a shot and Jacob Murphy was able to score from close range to give the Magpies a 1-0 lead.

As soon as Joelinton received a long ball from Fabian Schar and got around Lloris to shoot into an empty goal, Newcastle was up 2-0.

Three minutes after the second goal, Jacob Murphy scored the last goal for the home team with a 30-yard rocket after Son Heung Min had his pockets picked in midfield.

As Isak joined the action after being assisted by a beautiful through pass from Joe Willock, further doubts were raised about the Tottenham defense.

Isak scored his second goal shortly after, taking advantage of a feed from Sean Longstaff to take a touch and put it in the same area as his first.

The Swedish international shook his shoulders after scoring, perhaps implying that it was too simple, and then wheeled away in joy.
