Newcastle thought they were signing "a top player" when they broke their transfer record to bring in striker Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad - and now he is delivering in what could become a "special season" for the club.
Isak's double in a dramatic 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest on Friday ensured Newcastle kept up their challenge for a top-four finish, moving within a point of fourth-placed Tottenham.
The Swedish striker netted a superb equaliser on the stroke of half-time before coolly slotting in a stoppage-time winner from the penalty spot to spark scenes of celebration from the travelling fans behind the goal at the City Ground.
