Newcastle's Alexander Isak has long been heralded as the sort of striker Arsenal need. At Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, he showed the Gunners exactly what they were missing.
Isak was superb, scoring one goal and making the other one. He also gave Arsenal's defensive partnership of Gabriel and William Saliba a rarely-seen torrid time as Newcastle gained a brilliant 2-0 away win in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
After Newcastle's 4-0 victory over Ipswich last month, in which Isak scored his first hat-trick for the club, boss Eddie Howe said he wanted the Swede to help guide the team to a first trophy since 1969.
