Like Newcastle’s flight to Southampton in the middle of the gusts of the northern Eowyn storm, a rugged beginning here gave way to a serene step. Alexander Isak does not know the turbulence in front of the goal.

The Swedish scored two others to reach 14 goals in his last 12 games. When it reaches the city, there is no defense against the damage that occurs. His second goal was so clinical that he should have used a white coat. He had earned and converted a penalty.

That double put the Newcastle in front when entering the break, reversing an early head goal of the captain of the Saints, Jan Bednarek. That was a small obstacle on the path of visitors to some deserved three points.

Sandro Tonali, the gladiator midfielder, made sure of it with a fantastic third goal at the beginning of the second half. If Isak is the missile of this equipment, then Tonali is the reaction engine. Not that Southampton offered a lot of resistance.

Defeated and defeated by Bournemouth during a 4-1 loss last weekend, a visit to the last premiere club was the perfect remedy for Eddie Howe and his players.

They feared that they forced them to travel the morning of the game after 70 mph winds whipped the northeast on Friday. Thus, his chartered flight left promptly on Friday afternoon. Those who were on board said the takeoff was a bit noisy but, once up, everything was fine. You could apply the same to this game.

The header without Bednarek brand in the 10th minute was a bad goal to grant, but the recovery was fast. Bruno Guimaraes put Isak in the goal and, when Joe Aribo made a clumsy challenge that the ball did not take, it was assumed that Sam Barrott would whistle a penalty. Instead, he pointed to a corner. The referee was soon redirected to his monitor next to the field and, four minutes later, Isak rolled to the lower corner, baffled by the meaningless delay.

Four minutes later, just about half an hour, he had another. Jacob Murphy launched a pass at the feet of Isak and his first touch was worth more than a thousand for most deadly. He took it out of Southampton’s defense and the auction was just as ruthless.

Then, Tonali applied a ruthless shot when he loaded from behind to collect the damping pass of Anthony Gordon and the Italian beat Alex McCarthy.

There was a late scare for Newcastle when Mateus Fernandes was annulled a goal off the offside, but that was another small obstacle in a return return to the path of triumph.
