Newcastle United had a thrilling weekend as they destroyed Tottenham Hotspur by scoring five goals in the opening 21 minutes of the 6-1 victory. That result gave the black and whites a genuine chance of making next season’s Champions League. And their in-form attacker Alexander Isak wants more.Alexander Isak in the Premier League 📈🔥 pic.twitter.com/rjg3GxqNjv— ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) April 23, 2023 The son of Eritrean parents took his tally to the season to 10 goals, and with seven matches remaining, he is in with a shout of finishing top scorer at St. James’ Park as he lies just one behind Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron. Isak says the supporters have him charged up ahead of tonight’s clash at Goodison Park.”The fans made it a great atmosphere, and they will be heading to Everton in great numbers. It’s how they usually are. But Sunday was really incredible. They give us so much energy; they give us so much, you just want to keep pushing forward. It’s really nice. Every time we win a ball, they fire up again. We have to give thanks to them. Of course, we are in the Champions League race. We’re all in this together. We love playing at home. Sunday was a great day.”Playing at home in front of 50,000 adoring fans is great, but the Magpies will face a different atmosphere in Liverpool tonight. Everton won two of their first three Premier League matches under Sean Dyche but have since been victorious in only one of their nine league games. Such a run could make the home fans at Goodison restless – especially if their team doesn’t start the game well enough. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7208879##The Magpies are unbeaten in all 15 Premier League matches against teams in the bottom half of the table, having won eight and drew seven. Five of their seven remaining games are versus clubs currently in the bottom half – and Eddie Howe’s team wants to make the somewhat favourable fixture list work in their favour.The hosts will welcome midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure back after he completed a three-game suspension, while Amadou Onana is also back in contention after two games out with a groin injury. One player the fans won’t welcome — at least not nicely — is Anthony Gordon. The youngster is now a public enemy in the blue half of Merseyside after he accepted the call to join Newcastle. It’s not known if Gordon will start the game, but Everton fans will surely do their best to make his return unpleasant. The winger scored seven goals in 65 Premier League appearances for Everton. Despite moving to Newcastle at the end of January, only Demarai Gray and Dwight McNeil have scored more league goals for the Toffees this season than Gordon’s tally of three. That’s a fact that underlines Everton’s poor goalscoring record this season. They have scored multiple goals in just one of their 16 Premier League home matches this season, a 3-0 win versus Crystal Palace in October. The Toffees have netted just 11 goals in their other 15 home league games this campaign.📱| Anthony Gordon’s latest Instagram Story.
