In a one-sided affair at Bramall Lane, the Magpies returned to winning ways in excellent fashion.
Newcastle United became the first Premier League side to have eight different scorers in a single match following a comprehensive 8-0 win.
Wilson and Isak were among the scorers for Eddie Howe’s men, with both players scoring the fourth and last goals respectively.

Wilson, a seasoned Premier League striker, and Isak, a rising star from Sweden, have been instrumental in Newcastle United’s resurgence under Howe.

“I love that finish,” Owen stated. “A Lot of people panic in front of goal. One thing I wish I had - practice with my left foot more, not necessarily striking the ball but I think if you are a striker or any player to be able to manipulate the ball with both feet like Isak did there, I think it’s a big skill to have.”
“You could argue that Newcastle got two of the best finishers in the League,” he added. “I mean, I think whenever I see them go close to goal I think ‘that’s a goal.’ of course, there is Haaland, he’d be right up there.”
