Aston Villa had been under pressure for much of the second half against Newcastle, and a mistake from Ezra Konsa allowed Alexander Isak to produce a sublime finish for the Magpies’ third goal in Saturday evening’s fixture.
There didn’t appear to be too much danger when a through ball was played towards the Swede, given that Konsa had control of the situation.
Unfortunately for the Villa defender, a momentary lapse of concentration handed Isak the initiative, and his resulting chipped finish was pure class.
Calm as you like from Alexander Isak! ?
