Alexander Isak’s stunning finish against Aston Villa has earned him a nomination for the Budweiser Premier League Goal of the Month award for August.
The Swedish striker scored twice in the Magpies’ 5-1 thumping of Aston Villa on the first day of the 2023/24 season, earning a Premier League Goal of the Month nomination for his second goal against the Villans.
In front of the Gallowgate End, the 23-year-old attacker dispossessed Villa defender Ezri Konsa before showing wonderful poise to brilliantly dink the ball past World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martnez.
Isak, who was nominated for last season’s Premier League Hublot Young Player of the Season award, features on an eight-man shortlist including Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, Jarrod Bowen of West Ham United, Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hamer, Kaoru Mitoma of Brighton & Hove Albion, Liverpool’s Luis Diaz, Raheem Sterling of Chelsea and Brentford’s Kevin Schade.
Supporters can vote for the winner here, with the vote closing at midday on Monday, 11th September. The winner will be announced on Friday, 15th September
