Alexander Isak’s incredible run of form continues as he scores once again in Newcastle’s 2-0 victory over Wolves. The 25-year-old Swedish striker has now scored in eight consecutive Premier League matches, a streak that has been instrumental in propelling Eddie Howe’s Newcastle into the hunt for Champions League qualification.
Isak’s current goal-scoring streak places him among an elite group of players. Only two players in Premier League history have had a longer consecutive scoring streak. His eight-game run has surpassed numerous big names who have scored in seven consecutive matches, including legends like Mohamed Salah, Sergio Aguero, Erling Haaland, Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer, and Ian Wright, as well as more recent stars such as Romelu Lukaku and Taiwo Awoniyi.
By scoring in his eighth consecutive game, Isak has now matched the likes of Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United, 2001/02), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool, 2013/14), and Jamie Vardy (Leicester City, 2019/20), all of whom achieved the same feat. However, Isak is still chasing the record held by Van Nistelrooy, who recorded the second-longest goalscoring streak in Premier League history with 10 consecutive games. Van Nistelrooy’s remarkable achievement spanned across two seasons, with a streak that ended in March 2003 and continued into the next season.
The record for most consecutive games with a goal is held by Jamie Vardy, whose extraordinary run of 11 consecutive games was achieved during Leicester City’s thrilling 2015/16 title-winning campaign.
Most Consecutive Premier League Games with a Goal:
- =3. Alexander Isak (Newcastle, 04.12.2024 – 15.01.2025) – 8 games
- =3. Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United, 12.12.2001 – 19.01.2002) – 8 games
- =3. Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool, 23.11.2013 – 23.02.2014) – 8 games
- =3. Jamie Vardy (Leicester City, 19.10.2019 – 08.12.2019) – 8 games
- 2. Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United, 22.03.2003 – 23.08.2003) – 10 games
- 1. Jamie Vardy (Leicester City, 29.08.2015 – 28.11.2015) – 11 games
With his current streak, Isak has put himself in prime position to challenge Vardy’s record. As the season progresses, the question remains whether the Swedish striker can extend his run even further and potentially set a new benchmark for Premier League goalscoring consistency.
