Most strikers use two or three moves to find space. Alexander Isak has at least seven - and Southampton couldn’t live with them. A deep-dive into the #NUFC striker’s secret sauce, and how Eddie Howe manages it. www.nytimes.com/athletic/608...

Catching up on the Four Kings documentary on Prime, which is fantastic. Knew the names, but too young to see them fight. Heart-breaking but such a powerful exploration of the era and context.

FT: Southampton 1-3 #NUFC Clinical from Newcastle in the end. Reacted quickly after going behind and could stay in second gear for the second-half. The sort of no fuss win that #UCL-chasing sides need. Lovely sky as well.

'87: Southampton fans streaming out — not staying for Miguel Almiron, who has just come on for what could be his first minutes in an #NUFC shirt.

Goal disallowed! Southampton 1-3 #NUFC Would have been a terrible goal to concede. Matheus Fernandes runs straight onto a long ball from the goalkeeper, and Newcastle looked to be facing a nervy finish. Was a shoulder off — and goal reversed by VAR.

GOAL! Sandro Tonali!! His first league goal since August 2023, played through the middle by a simple triangle from Isak and Gordon which contorted the Southampton defence. Southampton 1-3 #NUFC

'49: Dubravka has to pull off an excellent reflex save from Adam Armstrong to keep the game level — arguably his own weak punch which created the chance, mind.

Southampton 1-2 #NUFC Enjoyable first-half. Newcastle have done well to shrug off a sloppy first goal — the interplay between Guimaraes, Murphy, and Isak has been gorgeous. Southampton's wing-backs still a threat when they play into the box, but #NUFC well on top in midfield.

GOAL! Southampton 1-2 #NUFC It all turns around just like that. Brilliant from Murphy infield, who then plays it down the seam into Isak's stride. Finished clinically.

Isak goes down in the box under Aribo's challenge. Doesn't look like he touches much of the ball... Being checked by VAR.
