Alexander Isak, Newcastle's Swedish striker, has scored in seven straight Premier League games, solidifying his place as one of the league’s top scorers.

Alexander Isak is in the form of his life with Newcastle United, scoring in seven consecutive Premier League matches. The 23-year-old Swedish striker now boasts 13 goals in 18 matches, placing him third in the league’s top scorers, trailing only Mohamed Salah (17) and Erling Haaland (16).

Newcastle is on the rise, sitting fifth in the Premier League with 35 points, just one point behind fourth-placed Chelsea. After a four-game winless run earlier in the season, the team, under Eddie Howe, has bounced back with five consecutive victories, with Isak’s goal-scoring streak a major factor in their success.

Isak’s contributions go beyond consistency. He’s been Newcastle’s key player for breaking the deadlock, scoring the first goal in four matches—a team-high. Moreover, he has scored in 11 of his 18 league appearances, second only to Salah in frequency.

Isak excels in aerial and clinical finishes. Of his 13 goals, five came from crosses, and four were headers—the highest in the Premier League for both metrics. He’s also the most active shooter at Newcastle, attempting 51 shots, with 25 on target.

Isak is just 11 goals shy of matching his best professional tally of 25 goals, also achieved with Newcastle. His pace, power, and lethal finishing have made him indispensable to the club’s ambitions this season, as they aim to secure Champions League qualification.
