Intriguing Newcastle United stats that have followed the 4-1 victory over Burnley | OneFootball

Saturday saw a dominant Newcastle United performance.

The final scoreline reading Burnley 1 Newcastle 4.

Alexander Isak has scored 20 Premier League goals this season including ten in his past nine appearances.
