Ex-Norwich attacker Jacob Murphy set up the opener and was a constant threat against the rivals of his old club as he grabbed Newcastle’s second before his back heel allowed Isak to complete a 54-minute treble, after he also struck at the end of the first half following more woeful Ipswich defending. open image in gallery Alexander Isak celebrates scoring his first hat-trick for Newcastle in a 4-0 win at Ipswich Jeers followed from Ipswich supporters’ when the offside flag was raised, but a two-and-a-half minute VAR check occurred and the goal was awarded with Murphy declared onside. Martin Dubravka raced out of his goal moments later to thwart Ipswich forward Sammie Szmodics before Isak curled straight at Arijanet Muric to provide a reminder of Newcastle’s threat.
