Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak delivered a masterclass performance as Sweden thrashed South Korea 6-0 in a one-sided international friendly. The 24-year-old forward, who has been in scintillating form for his club, continued his fine run by netting a spectacular goal in the first half.
Isak's Moment of Brilliance
Isak broke the deadlock in the 11th minute with a moment of individual magic. Picking up the ball just outside the box, the Swedish talisman danced past two defenders before unleashing an unstoppable strike into the top corner, leaving the Korean goalkeeper rooted to the spot.
Sweden's Dominant Display
The Scandinavian side controlled proceedings throughout, with Isak at the heart of their attacking play. His clever movement and link-up play created numerous opportunities for his teammates as Sweden ran riot against a disjointed Korean defence.
Former England goalkeeper David James, working as a pundit for the match, praised Isak's performance: 'He's showing exactly why Newcastle paid big money for him. That goal was pure class - the technique, the composure. He's developing into one of Europe's most complete forwards.'
Liverpool Links Resurface
Isak's display has reignited speculation about potential interest from Liverpool, with the Reds reportedly monitoring his progress. His combination of physicality, technical ability and eye for goal makes him an attractive prospect for top Premier League clubs.
The comfortable victory provides Sweden with perfect preparation for their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers, while South Korea will need to regroup quickly after this humbling defeat.
