Newcastle forward Alexander Isak was in scintillating form with a goal and an assist as Sweden ran riot in a 5-1 friendly victory over Northern Ireland.
Isak set up Emil Holm for the opener seven minutes into the game in Stockholm after a typical mazy run and ball across goal.
Benjamin Nygren added a second for the Swedes before Ken Sema slammed home a third after the break, with Isak then exhibiting his quality once again for the hosts’ fourth of the evening.
The 25-year-old collected the ball midway in Northern Ireland’s half before bursting forward and hitting a 25-yard drive into the back of the net.

Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga continued his impressive form by adding a fifth for Sweden, with Isaac Price scoring a deflected consolation for the youthful visitors.
The defeat ends Michael O’Neill’s side’s five-game unbeaten run, having gone into the game off the back of an ecnouraging 1-1 draw with Switzerland.
