Isak now has the most consecutive Premier League games with a goal, closing in on the record.

Alexander Isak is unstoppable right now. The Swedish striker continued his hot streak against Wolves this evening, scoring another goal.

Isak's opener at St James' Park means the 25-year-old has now scored in eight consecutive Premier League games for Newcastle, and his form has propelled Eddie Howe's team back into contention for Champions League qualification.

His purple patch also means that only two players have ever scored more goals in the Premier League.

Isak has outperformed a slew of Premier League players who have scored in seven consecutive games. Some expected names appear, including Mohamed Salah, Sergio Aguero, Erling Haaland, Ian Wright, Thierry Henry, and Alan Shearer. Romelu Lukaku, Emmanuel Adebayor, Mark Stein, and Taiwo Awoniyi have all scored in seven consecutive games.

Isak's eighth win in a row has elevated him to elite company. Ruud van Nistelrooy scored in eight consecutive games during his brilliant debut season at Manchester United in 2001/02, while Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge (2013/14) and Leicester's Jamie Vardy (2019/20) have also done it.

Van Nistelrooy also has the second longest goal-scoring streak in the Premier League. The Dutchman had a 10-game goalscoring streak that lasted two seasons, finishing the 2002/03 season with eight goals in a row before scoring in the first two games of the next season.

That record stood for over a decade until Jamie Vardy broke it during Leicester's stunning title-winning season in 2015/16. Vardy scored in 11 consecutive games, breaking the record against Manchester United at the King Power Stadium. Ironically, Van Nistelrooy is now Vardy's head coach at Leicester City.

From Chloe Kelly to Naomi Girma, here are ten players that could move in January.

As the winter transfer market opens, we take a look at ten prominent players who may change teams next month. Naomi Girma Age 24 Nationality US Club San Diego Wave Girma, widely regarded as one of the top centre-backs in the world and recently named to the FIFA top XI, is nearing the final year of her contract, and speculation has grown that she may leave San Diego. Only the world's wealthiest clubs are expected to be able to afford her this window, and she has been connected with French giants Lyon, although Chelsea are also looking for a central defender after Kadeisha Buchanan suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament damage. Chloe Kelly Age 26 Nationality English Club Manchester City Having started only one Women’s Super League game this season, a move away from Manchester City may be the solution for Kelly to secure more match minutes in her quest for a seat on the plane to Euro 2025 with the Lionesses next summer. The winger, whose winning goal clinched England vic...

Borussia Dortmund is 'considering a bid' for Marcus Rashford.

Borussia Dortmund is investigating a transfer for Marcus Rashford. According to the Athletic's David Ornstein, the Bundesliga club has joined the hunt for Manchester United's out-of-favour attacker in the summer. Rashford has become a peripheral character at Old Trafford with the arrival of Rúben Amorim, being dropped from four consecutive matchday lineups. He returned for a home loss to Newcastle but missed last weekend's draw at Liverpool due to illness, and his long-term chances remain bleak. Rashford has also been linked with Serie A giants Milan and Juventus, as well as many undisclosed Premier League suitors.

England midfielder Georgia Stanway is expected to depart Bayern Munich this summer, and Arsenal is interested in him.

As the women’s football world turns its eyes toward what’s shaping up to be one of the busiest summers in recent memory, one transfer story is dominating the headlines: England midfielder Georgia Stanway’s confirmed departure from Bayern Munich. With her contract expiring at the end of the 2025-26 season and a future move poised to reshape the Women’s Super League (WSL), Arsenal are reportedly leading the chase to bring the midfield powerhouse back to England. This potential signing could reverberate well beyond North London — reshaping Arsenal’s midfield dynamics, enriching the WSL’s star quality, and impacting the broader landscape of women’s club football. In this detailed blog, we’ll explore Stanway’s career journey, what she brings to the pitch, why Arsenal are so keen, how it fits into their tactical blueprint, and what her return to England might mean for the league’s future.

The Special One is Back: José Mourinho Returns to the El Clásico Stage for High-Stakes Camp Nou Clash.

José Mourinho does not need to step onto the pitch to change the atmosphere around El Clásico. His presence on the touchline is enough to give an already immense fixture another layer of tension. Thirteen years after his previous appearance in the rivalry as Real Madrid manager, he returns to Camp Nou facing a familiar opponent and an unfamiliar version of the challenge. Barcelona lead LaLiga, Madrid are chasing, and the Portuguese coach must show that his return can produce more than powerful memories. The stakes are substantial. Madrid enter the match six points behind Barcelona. Victory would cut that deficit to three; defeat would stretch it to nine before October has ended. No league title can be settled this early, but the difference between those outcomes would shape the pressure surrounding both clubs. For Mourinho, this is an opportunity to give his second Madrid spell a defining result. For Barcelona, it is a chance to establish that their domestic authority can survive the m...

Why Kane’s Astonishing 73-Goal Season Blew Away the Ballon d'Or Competition.

Harry Kane did not win the 2026 Ballon d’Or because football finally decided to reward patience. He won because his season presented an extraordinary argument: 73 goals in 65 appearances for club and country, including 61 in 51 matches for Bayern Munich. Kylian Mbappé finished second and Lamine Yamal third, but Kane’s combination of record-breaking production and collective achievement ultimately placed him above both. The numbers require one important distinction. These were not 73 goals for Bayern, nor a calendar-year total assembled across parts of two campaigns. They comprised 61 club goals and 12 for England during the season under consideration. That clarity matters because an achievement this substantial deserves to be understood accurately, not enlarged through misleading comparisons. “Blew away the competition” describes the force of his candidacy rather than a verified landslide in voting points. The confirmed result establishes the finishing order; it does not, by itself, te...
