Isak goal scorer when Newcastle won the League Cup final
Alexander Isak will forever be enrolled in Newcastle's history books. When the club took its first title of 56 years, the Swede stood for one of the goals.
But it could have been two.
First, Isaac got a goal sentenced for Offside, when he stayed on a return. A verdict he himself had difficulty accepting, which he clearly pointed out to the judge.
But it would not be long until he struck « again », and this time no one could stop the Swedish goal celebration.
Minute afterIn match minute 53, the Swede gave Newcastle the lead 2-0. A goal that would prove to be decisive.
Jacob Murphy nodded down a post to Isaac that was unmarked at the penalty spot, and was able to shave 2-0 in front of a boiling Wembley.
The 25-year-old was then replaced in the 81st minute, to standing ovations from the Newcastle supporters. Emil Krafth also had to do a few minutes when he was replaced in the 90th minute.
Newcastle won the League Cup final by 2-1 And thus took home their first title since 1969, when they won the international UEFA tournament The Exhibition Cup, which was the precursor to the Uefacup. The last team won a domestic title was 1955, when they took home the FA Cup.
The 1-0 goal was scored by outer back Dan Burn, who was unexpectedly called up to the English national team recently.
For Liverpool's part, the nightmare week was completed. In just five days, two title dreams have been crashed, after the team left the Champions League against PSG on Tuesday.
