UEFA publishes a ten-word Alexander Isak’s statement following the Sweden controversy in anticipation of Newcastle United’s return

UEFA publishes a ten-word Alexander Isak’s statement following the Sweden controversy in anticipation of Newcastle United’s returnUEFA has verified that Alexander Isak was incorrectly denied a goal for Sweden during the 6-0 victory over Azerbaijan on Tuesday night.

Isak endured an aggravating evening, as his impressive solitary effort was rendered null and void by the video assistant referee (VAR) for offside.

Viktor Gyokeres scored four goals, while Dejan Kulusevski scored two, as Sweden secured a comfortable victory at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm.

The Newcastle United striker also missed a second-half penalty.It did, however, conclude Isak’s streak of netting in five consecutive matches for both his club and his country. Despite the fact that a spokesperson for UEFA has since verified that Isak’s goal should have been allowed to stand.

Many football fans took to social media to proclaim justice for Isak, who had run from just inside the Azerbaijan half from a clearly onside position before finding the net, during a period of increased scrutiny and criticism directed towards match officials.

Isak’s frustration at being denied a goal on his 50th appearance for his country is undeniable, despite the fact that UEFA has promptly acknowledged the error, which ultimately did not affect the full-time final score.

The 25-year-old is now returning to Newcastle with the goal of scoring in his fifth consecutive encounter at the club.

The Magpies will face West Ham United at St James’ Park on Monday night. Isak has scored five goals in his last three appearances against West Ham and has scored 12 goals in his last 12 Premier League matches at St James’ Park.
