Those goals have helped Newcastle to four wins in their last six, putting them four points clear in seventh, the final European spot.
At this rate, Eddie Howe will rightly back his players to catch Man Utd and seal UEFA Europa League qualification.
Cunha and Hwang partnership shows what Wolves have been missing
Wolves have ended their six-match winless run just in time to ensure Gary O’Neil’s impressive debut campaign doesn’t end with a whimper.
If it had done, then he could fairly point to injuries in the forward line as the reason Wolves faded away.
Both have missed periods of 2023/24 through injury, as has Pedro Neto, and the cumulative effect has been a significant blunting of O’Neil’s counter-attacks.
Cunha especially has been missed. He has started only six Premier League matches in 2024, scoring five goals and assisting another.
Who knows where Wolves would be had Cunha stayed fit.
Isak has also scored in each of his last seven Premier League home matches, with only Andrew Cole (8 in 1993/94) and Shearer (15 in 1996/97) ever putting together a better sequence for the club.
