Awarded

Among these goals, Isak scored a great goal in Newcastle's 3-3 draw with Liverpool. Liverpool coach Arne Slot is not even sure if goalkeeper Kelleher saw the team's goal, because Isak's shot had strong force and fast speed.
According to statistics, Isak's shot at that time had a speed of up to 108.94 km/h, from the moment the ball left the foot until it passed the goal line.
Admission
Isak's form throughout the 2024-25 season has helped him get shortlisted for the PFA Best Player of the Year and Premier League Player of the Year awards.
He was voted by his professional colleagues as one of the six best players in English football last season, along with Salah and Alexis Mac Allister, along with Bruno Fernandes, Cole Palmer and Declan Rice.
Isak has also been nominated for the Premier League's player of the season for the second season in a row.
However, it is no surprise that Salah has won both awards thanks to his huge contributions to Liverpool's championship.
Record at Anfield
Isak has made two Premier League appearances at Anfield during his time at Newcastle and scored both times.
His first goal came in August 2022 when he scored his first, in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Newcastle.
In early January 2024, Isak continued to score at Anfield in the match in which Newcastle lost 2-4 to Liverpool.
