Tough for Isak's Newcastle - lost to West Ham

Alexander Isak's streak stopped at goal in four straight matches for Newcastle. The popularity among the club's supporters cannot be mistaken. He was hailed before the match against West Ham with a blue and yellow tifo featuring, among other things, the text "Alexander The Great".

It didn't go well against Azerbaijan in the Nations League. Then Isak had a regular goal incorrectly disallowed for offside.

After that, he missed a penalty and left the pitch goalless in the national team's 6–0 win.

The difficulties continue for the attacking star. In Monday evening's thriller in the Premier League, Isak had a goal correctly disallowed for offside early on and also wasted two great opportunities before the break.

It would prove costly for Newcastle.

West Ham were more efficient. As early as the tenth minute, Czech Tomas Soucek nodded in a corner. Aaron Wan-Bissaka increased the lead at the beginning of the second half.

West Ham won 2–0.
