Gary Neville claims Alexander Isak has Gabriel and William Saliba 'on TOAST' in Carabao Cup semi-final - after Newcastle extend lead against Arsenal

Gary Neville heaped praise on Alexander Isak during Newcastle's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Arsenal.

The Magpies headed into the game with a 2-0 lead from last month's first leg at the Emirates thanks to goals from Isak and Anthony Gordon.

During the first half at St James' Park on Wednesday, Isak picked up where he left off as he tormented Arsenal's defensive pairing of William Saliba and Gabriel.

The Swede - who has 19 goals in 26 games this season - thought he had extended Newcastle's lead in the tie when he netted with a superb finish just minutes into the clash, but he was adjudged to be offside following a lengthy VAR check.
