ISAK SWAYS!

Alexander the great proves he's wizard of the dribble against Everton.

Newcastle coach Eddie Howe reckons the "incredible" Sweden international conjured memories of Henry's finest ball-carrying moments when he beat five players and ran 50 yards to set up Jacob Murphy.

Isak's dribble is being hailed as one of the assists of the season - the best since Joe Willock's 50-yard, outside of the foot wonder pass to Isak against Tottenham last Sunday.

Howe said: "Thierry Henry? Yes, I can see the comparisons there.

"Everyone is different, there are no two players that are the same, but I do think he has some of the characteristics Thierry had.

"He's certainly got the speed and a similar build and frame.

"The footwork for the assist was truly remarkable, really, and I think he's got a lot of potential to improve and get better. It's been a great start for him here.
