Newcastle are unstoppable. On a series of eight straight victories in all competitions, the Magpies made short work of Wolverhampton (3-0), in line with an untenable Alexander Isak. Scorer on a deflected shot that he created on his own, the Swede doubled the lead on a perfect service from Bruno Guimaraes between the lines, an action for which the former Rémois Agbadou was not exempt from all criticism defensively. The festival was completed by Anthony Gordon, after exceptional work from Isak on the right side. With this success, Joelinton’s teammates return to fourth place in the Premier League, nine points behind leader Liverpool.
In the other matches of the multiplex, Crystal Palace gleaned a very valuable success in the race to maintain, on the lawn of promoted Leicester (0-2). Thanks to the achievements of Olympic silver medalist Jean-Philippe Mateta, and English defender Marc Guéhi, the Eagles are moving a little further from the relegation zone. Also note the success of Aston Villa away from Everton (0-1). One week before a crucial match against Monaco in the Champions League, the Villans relied on a successful goal from Ollie Watkins to win by the narrowest of margins.
