He joined Jamie Vardy as the only other player to achieve this in a single campaign when he scored against Tottenham on Saturday.

Anthony Gordon has accomplished a rare feat, scoring against every 'Big Six' club in the Premier League this season.

He joined Jamie Vardy as the only other player to achieve this in a single campaign when he scored against Tottenham on Saturday.

He has become just the second player ever, after Jamie Vardy, to score against all six of the league's traditionally strongest teams, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur in a single season.

Following in Vardy's Footsteps

The only other player to achieve this feat was Leicester City's Jamie Vardy, who accomplished it during the remarkable 2015/16 season when Leicester defied the odds to win the Premier League title.

Vardy's goalscoring prowess played a pivotal role in their historic campaign.

Newcastle thrashed Tottenham

Alexander Isak continued his red-hot scoring form at St. James' Park, bagging a brace to lead Newcastle United to a crucial 4-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

The win strengthens Newcastle's push for European football next season.

Isak proved unstoppable on home soil once again, scoring in each half to extend his streak of scoring at St. James' Park to an impressive six consecutive matches. He now boasts a remarkable 17 goals in just 24 Premier League appearances this season.

While Isak stole the show with his double, the win was a true team effort. Anthony Gordon and Fabian Schar also got their names on the scoresheet for the Magpies, showcasing a well-rounded attacking performance.

Despite creating chances, Tottenham's Timo Werner squandered two key opportunities. Their overall finishing lacked the precision displayed by Newcastle, ultimately leading to their downfall.
