Eddie Howe praises Isaac for always being in the right place to shoot

With Isaac's double and Gordon's goal, Newcastle finally defeated Wolves 3-0 in the 21st round of the 2024/25 Premier League. Eddie Howe specifically mentioned Isaac's performance in an interview and praised the striker for always appearing in the right position to complete the shot.

In the 34th minute of the match, Isaac's cross from the penalty area was blocked by the opponent, but Isaac got the ball again and shot into the goal, helping Newcastle take the lead 1-0. In the 57th minute of the second half, Guimaraes passed the ball, Isaac took the opportunity to turn around and volleyed the ball into the goal, helping Newcastle continue to lead Wolves 2-0.

In the 74th minute, Isaac passed the ball across the defense and Gordon shot directly into the net, extending Newcastle's lead to 3-0. In the end, Newcastle defeated Wolves 3-0 at St. James' Park.

After winning six games in a row, Newcastle is now ranked fourth in the standings with 38 points. It is worth mentioning that the 25-year-old Isaac has scored in eight consecutive league games, which is a very impressive performance.

Talking about Isaac's performance, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said, "This is an incredible achievement. This is the most difficult league in the world. We have to deal with very good defenses all the time, especially in our schedule, but he still showed a high level of strength, and the way these two goals were scored was completely different."

"His second goal might be underestimated because it looks simple, but it's definitely not. It's his quality and technique because he always has that extra second to shoot accurately, thanks to his talent and technical ability. If you look at his other goals, a lot of them have come from crosses recently and he's always in the right place."

Eddie Howe also said, "Goal scoring is an art. It not only requires being in the right position, but also the ability to calmly complete the shot, which not many players can do."

As for the team's current position, Eddie Howe said, "We have to do more, and this is also the challenge we put forward to the players. This performance is not perfect. I don't think the performance in the last 20 minutes is ideal. We need to continue to grow and improve, because the next challenges will only be more difficult."
