NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Newcastle striker Alexander Isak’s scoring run is finally over.

The Sweden international had scored in eight straight games before failing to find the net in Newcastle’s 4-1 loss to Bournemouth on Saturday.

Isak had been closing in on a record set by Leicester’s Jamie Vardy in 2015.
