Alexander Isak’s incredible strike in Newcastle United’s 3-3 draw with Liverpool has been voted December 2024’s Guinness Goal of the Month.
Isak smashed into the top-right corner from the edge of the 18-yard-box after running off Virgil van Dijk and making a yard of space to shoot past the Liverpool defender.
Isak wins a December Premier League awards double, having also been named the EA SPORTS Player of the Month after scoring eight goals and assisting a further two in only six appearances last month.
He is one of only six players to win both awards in the same month, following Cole Palmer in April 2024, Bruno Fernandes in June 2020, Jesse Lingard in April 2021, Mohamed Salah in October 2021 and Miguel Almiron in October 2022.
Isak is the first Swedish player to win a Guinness Goal of the Month award since it was introduced in 2016/17, and the first Newcastle player to do so since Almiron in October 2022.
He topped an eight-goal shortlist after the public’s votes were combined with those of a panel of football experts.
What a strike from Alexander Isak 🚀
