Garth Crooks raves about one Newcastle United player after Nottingham Forest win

Garth Crooks has raved about Alexander Isak following the player's latest contribution to Newcastle United's win over Nottingham Forest. 

The Magpies beat the opponents with a score of 2 - 1 on Saturday. Isak scored the two winning goals for his side - one from the penalty spot. 

Crooks was impressed by the Swedish professional's display and included him in his Premier League Team of the Week. 

"The adjustment for his first goal was outstanding, while the coolness displayed to convert the winning penalty against Nottingham Forest justified his selection over Callum Wilson," the pundit wrote in his BBC column. 

"Isak is starting to produce the goods at exactly the right time for the Magpies. Wilson did well for Newcastle during the early part of the season but has run out of steam since his return from a World Cup that must have been mentally draining. Meanwhile, Isak has taken the strain and is leading the line exceptionally as the Geordies mount a serious assault on a top-four place."
