Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – In his first match with Newcastle, the Swedish striker, Alexander Isak, scored his first goal with his new team in the match that brings him together with the runners-up of the last edition, Liverpool.
Isaac scored the first goal for Newcastle at the 38th minute of the match, which is being held at “Anfield”, in his first match with the Saudi-owned team.
The Swedish striker’s deal sparked a lot of controversy after some saw that the $70 million he was paid for was exaggerated and that the player’s level was not worthy of this figure.
Isak is considered the most expensive deal in the history of Newcastle United, after the value of his deal exceeded that of Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.
It is noteworthy that Newcastle suffers in this match from the absence of its first star, Frenchman Alain Saint-Maximan, who suffered an injury in the last Wolverhampton match.
