Alexander Isak continued his fine form for Newcastle. The Swede has scored 7 goals in 10 appearances for Eddie Howe's side this season, including a brace against West Ham last time out.
"He's been really, really good for us I think. Played well today, Alex. Moved position so we played him as a nine. Then switched sides with him and so we had a sort of a couple of new experiences but took his goals brilliantly," said the Newcastle manager.
"The first one, especially, I think he had to show really quick feet to finish and we were praying that he was onside. And then same with the second he's in the right place and then he got in behind for the third opportunity, his hat-trick moment and did everything right and then just run out of the angle. But he can be very pleased with his performance.," concluded Howe.
