Alexander Isak debased Everton

With defending like this, Everton won’t even be Championship standard next season

With his dazzling and humiliating assist at Goodison Park, Alexander Isak showed Everton exactly where they belong: the Championship.

The Newcastle forward displayed incredible skill to glide past three Everton defenders, who displayed equally incredible ineptitude late in Thursday’s 4-1 win for the Magpies.

Let’s not take away anything from the Swedish international’s run, which was one of the best of the year and ended up giving Jacob Murphy a tap-in.

But this was a laughable effort from an Everton side who now sit in 19th place with just five Premier League games remaining.

Ben Godfrey, Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane all took turns swiping at Isak the way a cat bats at a ball of yarn.

Keane spins around a couple times before basically giving up, and Godfrey‘s final attempt showed textbook bullfighting technique.

This was the denouement of the game for the Toffees and perhaps the moment relegation moved from a looming threat to more of a likelihood. With defending like this, Everton won’t even be Championship standard next season.
