It was a centre-forward’s aim within the purest, conventional sense; a far-post header planted past the goalkeeper from a curling, dipping cross. It was the primary aim of the Nick Woltemade period at Newcastle United.

As debuts go, issues couldn’t have labored out significantly better for his or her new Germany worldwide. A younger man, taking part in his first sport in England, after solely two coaching classes together with his new team-mates, following a club-record £69m transfer within the dying embers of the summer season switch window, arising with the winner.

Woltemade isn’t the identical profile, not the identical participant, but when he can rating targets, no one will probably be nervous about what they’ve misplaced, merely cherish what they’ve.
The actual fact his first aim – a strong header – was the kind Isak, as prolific as he was, hardly ever scored made it all of the extra intriguing.

Some would possibly name it an old style ahead’s aim, however soccer is filled with fleeting traits. Some issues by no means exit of fashion and this was considered one of them: the whipped-in cross from winger Jacob Murphy, Woltemade pulling away from the centre-back, the header guided powerfully past the goalkeeper with the web bulging because the ball crashed residence. The roar grew louder as the house crowd realised who had scored it. They’ve a brand new hero to reward, a brand new striker to, hopefully, fall in love with.
