Of course, one of those key passes was Isak in the box for his second goal of the night, which was Guimarães’ sixth assist in the Premier League this season.
The former Lyon star’s average performance 3.2 Tackles and interceptions Scoring one goal and creating nine ‘super chances’ per game illustrates the impact he has had on Newcastle in and out of possession throughout the season.
