Alexander Isak has managed to bag a brace on several occasions for Newcastle United but that hat-trick goal has eluded him so many times until yesterday.
Isak helped himself to three goals in the 4-0 win over Ipswich Town, finally getting to take home the match ball.
At times it was looking like it was going to be another one of those games for Isak where he gets a goal but spurns some golden chances to add more.
Isak should have had a second long before he did after going through one-on-one with Arijanet Muric and hitting the tamest shot possible for Muric to scoop up.

Alexander Isak knew he should have had more than three
It's not the first time Isak has done something similar in recent games however his most egregious miss came against Brentford where he rounded the keeper but didn't shoot, instead taking a couple of extra touches allowing the 'keeper to gather himself and flick the ball off Isak's toe.
While the lanky Swede made up for his misses by adding two further goals yesterday, The Chronicle spotted something as the cameras followed the players off the pitch at full time.
Isak turned away from the view of the cameras and could be overheard saying: "I should have had four!"

We're pretty sure we know who the offender is
Then, somewhere off-camera an unidentified player can be heard shouting:
"You should have had five or six!"
We can't argue with what they said, and if we're being honest, we're pretty sure we know who the unidentified player is without even having heard the clip.
In his interview with Match of the Day, Jacob Murphy said "he probably should have had about five today", and we know just how cheeky Murph is, so it's absolutely something he'd do.
