When the ball arrived at Jacob Murphy’s feet just a yard from Jordan Pickford’s goal, the Newcastle man couldn’t miss, but his goal against Everton owed everything to an amazing assist from Alexander Isak.
The Swede picked the ball up right by the halfway line and then appeared to dribble past what appeared to be the entire Toffees outfit before laying the ball on a plate for Murphy.
It’s as good an assist as you’re ever likely to see.
