Ian Wright says Newcastle United star ‘can’t be ignored’ after 4-1 win over Burnley
Newcastle United kept their European hopes alive by dispatching helpless Burnley 4-1 on Saturday at Turf Moor.

Added to that, you had Harvey Barnes and Miguel Almi💟ron coming off the bench, with Joelinton and Nick Pope also 🧔returning from long-term injuries.
That’s why it shouldn’t be a surprise that the Magpies caused havoc from minute one and it could have been even worse ꦦfor the hosts had Isak scored his peꦜnalty.

Jacob Murphy’s two assists
“S♎omeone like Murphy had a fantastic game,” said Wright. “Two assists against Burnley. He can’t be ignored and how he feat🐈ured in this game as well.
“Unfortunate there for Gordon there (missed chan𓆏ce in the first half). Maybe he should just try to hit the target. We see Burnley trying to play through and easily picked off.
“I thought that Newcastle were very ruthless – They were very, vꦯery good. They smelt blood and totally demolishe🌠d them.”
Underrated Jacob Murphy
Understandably s♎o, a lot of talk is around Gordon, Isak, Wilson when he is fit and even Barne🧸s.
But a player like M꧟urphy always tends to go under the radar because his footballing brain is outstanding, technically he is very🐎 strong and he has versatility in his game.
