Newcastle United made history with a commanding 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at St. James’ Park on Wednesday night, marking their ninth consecutive victory across all competitions. This milestone, achieved only twice before in the club’s 144-year history, cements Eddie Howe’s team as one of Newcastle’s most formidable sides.
Central to this historic feat has been Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker netted a brace against Wolves, bringing his tally to an impressive 10 goals in this nine-game streak. His prolific form has seen him score in eight consecutive Premier League matches, a record matched by only three other players in league history: Jamie Vardy, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Daniel Sturridge.
Isak opened the scoring in the 31st minute with a precise finish and doubled Newcastle’s lead shortly after halftime. With a hat-trick beckoning, Isak demonstrated his selflessness, setting up Anthony Gordon for the Magpies’ third goal in the 74th minute. This team-oriented mindset has been key to Newcastle’s rise under Howe, who remains cautious despite the club’s meteoric ascent.
Howe’s side now sits fourth in the Premier League table, three points behind Nottingham Forest in third. The manager, however, emphasized focus over celebration: “We’re in a key moment where this could lead to something bigger. Our goal is to keep pushing without distractions.”
With their sights firmly set on securing Champions League football for the first time in two decades, Newcastle fans are daring to dream. The team’s blend of tactical discipline, attacking flair, and Isak’s lethal finishing has given the Magpies a genuine shot at rewriting their history books.
Newcastle’s resurgence under Howe is no fluke—it’s a testament to ambition, talent, and the indomitable spirit of a club on the rise.
