Harry Redknapp names striker as his star of the Premier League weekend

Harry Redknapp has hailed Newcastle's performance against Tottenham on Saturday by including three Magpies in his team of the weekend. 

Eddie Howe's side were too good for Spurs as they thrashed the Champions League chasers 4-0 at St James' Park to strengthen their own European hopes. 

Redknapp singled out both Anthony Gordon and Fabian Schar as star performers but reserved special praise for striker Alexander Isak, who netted twice in the win. 

"My star man has to be Alexander Isak though, he was just world class against Spurs," he told BetVictor. 

"Some of his touches were brilliant and he was a nightmare for that Spurs defence. I like Micky van de Ven but Isak gave him the runaround at the weekend, he could have scored more than the two he got.

"People have compared this lad to Thierry Henry and you can see those comparisons. He’s not quite at that level yet but he’s got the lot and there’s not many strikers in world football better than him."
