Alexander Isak inspired Newcastle United to a history-making 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday evening.

That Premier League triumph represented Newcastle’s ninth consecutive victory across all competitions. A feat only ever achieved twice before in the club’s 144-year history – and never surpassed.

The only previous precedent for such a prolific winning run in the top flight was the glorious tenure of Kevin Keegan. After winning their final match of the 1993/94 campaign. The club’s legendarily free-wheeling outfit began the new season with eight straight wins.

The prolific figure of Andrew Cole rattled in eight goals for Keegan’s early iteration of the ‘Entertainers’. Alexander Isak has surpassed his legendary predecessor, netting ten goals across this nine-game winning run for the Magpies.

The Swede, who is increasingly looking worthy of his lofty £150m valuation.

Fire Newcastle in front shortly. After the half-hour mark, making the visit of Wolves to St James’ Park the eighth consecutive top-flight match. Which Isak has scored. Only three other players in Premier League history have been able to match. That burst of goals (Jamie Vardy, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Daniel Sturridge).

Isak doubled the hosts advantage after the interval and had the chance to complete his hat-trick but.
