Alexander Isak comfortably tops Newcastle United fan ratings in Wolves victory

Alexander Isak has been voted Newcastle United's standout performer by supporters following their 2-1 victory over Wolves at St James' Park on Sunday.

The Swede scored his first goal in two months with a powerful header into the far corner from Kieran Trippier's brilliant delivery in the 26th minute.

Isak was a constant thorn in Wolves' side and received an impressive 8.6 rating by the Toon faithful. Miguel Almiron later came off the bench to score the winning goal after Hwang Hee-chan equalised for Wolves.

Almiron was handed a 7.9 rating, while Joe Willock (7.7); Fabian Schar (7.5), and Sven Botman (7.3) also registered respectable scores.

Elsewhere, Callum Wilson was handed a lowly 5.6 rating, and failed to impress after replacing Isak for the final 20 minutes.

Newcastle leapfrogged Liverpool to climb into fifth place and revived their UEFA Champions League dream following a poor run of form since the turn of the year.

Full Newcastle United fan ratings:

Alexander Isak - 8.6

Miguel Almiron - 7.9

Joe Willock - 7.7
