It was in the 58th minute that visiting Crystal Palace lost the ball. Alexander Isak received it as a gift and shot directly from outside the penalty area. A finish that Dean Henderson in the away goal was powerless against.
The goal was Isak's 21st full hit of the season and with that harvest, he is tied for second place in the Premier League's top scorer list with Norwegian Erling Braut Haaland, Manchester City.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah tops the list in superior style – the Egyptian stands at 27 goals.
Isak's goal was of academic significance in the match itself. The full hit secured the 5–0 win. Newcastle already led 4–0 at halftime.
The three points mean that Newcastle is the new third-place team on 59 points with six matches left to play. Second-place Arsenal has 63 points and league leader Liverpool stands at 76 points.
