Alexander Isak's hat-trick inspired Newcastle United to a wonderful 4-0 win at Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon. The 25-year-old's treble - the first by a Magpies player since Ayoze Pérez struck three times against Southampton in April 2019 - helped move his side up to seventh in the Premier League table after a fine display at Portman Road, in which the hosts couldn't live with the free-flowing United.
Isak fired home inside the first minute to give the Magpies the lead, before Jacob Murphy's superb second gave Eddie Howe's men breathing space.
United were handed a third just before the break, with Isak rolling home again after profiting from some defensive hesitancy, before Murphy's neat assist allowed him to complete his hat-trick by stabbing home nine minutes after the restart to cap an excellent festive away day for the Magpies.
