Alexander Isak joins Newcastle elite with historic away goal record push

Alexander Isak continues to prove why he’s one of the most exciting forwards in the Premier League.
Following his latest goal on the road, the Swedish international has now scored 10 away goals in the 2024/25 Premier League season — placing him among elite company in Newcastle United history.

Only two players have ever managed more away goals in a single Premier League campaign for the Magpies:
Andy Cole – 12 (1993/94)
Alan Shearer – 11 (2000/01)

Isak now sits just two goals shy of matching Andy Cole’s long-standing record — and with a few away games still to play, there's a very real possibility he sets a new benchmark before the season ends.

Isak’s Impact on the Road
While Isak has been excellent at St. James’ Park, his away form has been particularly impressive.
Scoring consistently in high-pressure environments, the 25-year-old has shown composure, variety, and instinct. His goals have not only added to his personal tally but often shifted the momentum of key matches — helping Newcastle stay in the hunt for European qualification.

A New Era, a Familiar Feeling
What makes Isak’s surge even more special is the historical company he now keeps.
Both Andy Cole and Alan Shearer are icons in black-and-white — players whose names are forever linked to Newcastle’s most memorable moments. For Isak to be mentioned alongside them is a sign not only of his finishing quality but his growing status as a club cornerstone in the Eddie Howe era.

Could He Break the Record?
With just 2 goals needed to match Andy Cole’s away record — and 3 to break it — the question now is whether Isak can go the distance.

Newcastle still have a couple of tricky away fixtures left, but if recent form is anything to go by, few would bet against him.

Final Word
Alexander Isak’s rise is no fluke. Since joining the club, he’s added flair, versatility, and goals to a team evolving into a Premier League force. Whether he breaks the record or not, he’s already etched his name into modern Newcastle folklore.

Do you think Alexander Isak will break the away goal record before the season ends?
