Isak happy as Newcastle defeat Burnley: PSG next

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak was pleased with victory over Burnley.

Isak struck from the spot for the 2-0 win.

He later said: "It was important, happy with the three points. We had a lot of chances to put away more but the sharpness wasn't there like last week. The most important [thing] is the three points.

"It's good, we have so many games now so you don't have too much time to enjoy. It's always onto the next and now we have PSG on Wednesday. We'll enjoy the win tonight but tomorrow it's back to work."

On Miguel Almiron's impressive goal, Isak said: "It's his signature shot. All goalkeepers know he's going to go for the far corner. It was beautiful to see."

On facing PSG in the Champions League this week, he added: "I think the lads are buzzing and the fans and the whole city to be playing the first Champions League game back at St James' Park in a long time. Hopefully its going to be a great night for us."
