Newcastle United posted a 4-0 win over Ipswich on Saturday in the Premier League encounter at Portman Road as Alexander Isak netted a hattrick and Jacob Murphy found the back of the net for the Magpies in the rout.
Isak opened the scoring in the very first minute of the game as Eddie Howe’s men edged ahead early in the game and remained in cruise control up until the final whistle.
Murphy’s insurance goal in the 32nd minute of the game asserted the Toon Army’s dominance in the game.
Isak got his second of the night in the second minute of the first half added time as the visitors led by three goals at the break. The Swede completed his treble in the 54th minute of the game to ensure he’d leave the ground with the match ball in his possession.
