Newcastle's two star forwards were on the scoresheet as they secured a commanding first-leg advantage over Arsenal

Eddie Howe has indicated that Alexander Isak came off early due to a hamstring concern during the 2-0 win over Arsenal.

With no other senior striker on the bench, Howe has had to push Isak through the pain barrier in recent weeks.

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak received a warm reception from Arsenal supporters on his arrival at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.
