Alexander Isak has continued his phenomenal run of form, scoring for the EIGHTH Premier League match in a row, and a look at Newcastle United’s fixtures suggests Jamie Vardy’s competition record for the longest scoring run is in danger.
Vardy set the record of scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League matches for Leicester City between August and November 2015.
Isak’s strike to put Newcastle 1-0 up against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday made him the first Newcastle player to score in eight consecutive Premier League appearances, beating the seventh-match streaks achieved by Alan Shearer (September-November 1996) and Joe Willock (April-May 2021).
He now has the joint third-longest scoring run in Premier League history.

Newcastle’s next four fixtures offer an opportunity for Isak to equal and even beat Vardy’s mark.
Newcastle host AFC Bournemouth on Saturday and then visit bottom club Southampton before entertaining Fulham, against whom Isak could match Vardy’s record. If he does, he could beat it at Manchester City on 15 February.
