Alexander Isak's stock continues to rise after the Swedish international star once again found the back of the net for Newcastle United.
All level at 0-0 after Gabriel Martinelli failed to convert a guilt-edged opportunity minutes earlier, Isak popped up in the box to convert from close range to put the Magpies out in front at the Emirates after the Gunners fell asleep.
With that, Isak now sits on 50 goals across all competitions for Newcastle.
More impressively, only Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Liverpool's Mo Salah have managed to find the back of the net more than the former Real Sociedad standout in that stretch.
Newcastle doubled the advantage he provided them just six minutes after the restart thanks to Anthony Gordon, with Isak central to the goal after his shot was parried into Gordon's path by David Raya.
With Arsenal among the many clubs interested in his services, a goalscoring effort in North London just had to be on the cards.
