Strange things reappear in Premier League after 26 years

Less than 3 days after a resounding 4-1 victory over Manchester United, Newcastle continued their sublime performance at home. Jacob Murphy (14'), Harvey Barnse (45+2'), Fabian Schar (45+8') and Marc Guehi's own goal (38') helped the home team at St James' Park lead 4-0 in the first half.

Notably, Guehi created the strangest statistic in Premier League history, which was scoring an own goal in both the first and second legs against Newcastle.

Before Guehi, only one player had scored an own goal in both games against a Premier League opponent, Jamie Carragher. In the 1998/99 season, the former Liverpool man "burned the temple" twice when facing Tottenham.

Guehi had a day to forget.

In the second half, Newcastle continued to dominate the game and increased the score to 5-0 thanks to Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker scored 21 goals this season, equal to Erling Haaland and only behind Mohamed Salah (27 goals).

With 3 points at home, Newcastle extended their winning streak in the Premier League to 5, thereby rising to 3rd place in the rankings. The team from the Northeast of England has 59 points, 5 points more than the 6th place team, Chelsea.

Coach Eddie Howe and his team are having a successful season. After ending their 70-year title drought with the Carabao Cup, Newcastle are facing a great opportunity to qualify for the 2025/26 Champions League.
