Former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has named Newcastle United duo Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon as the two most underrated players in the Premier League this season.
Oliseh said this while reacting to Arsenal’s Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday.
Two goals from Isak and Gordon in either half gave the Magpies the victory ahead of the second leg in February.
Arsenal missed a couple of chances to score, with Kai Havertz being the biggest culprit.
Havertz missed a header from a few yards out during the encounter at Emirates Stadium.
Reacting, Oliseh, in a tweet via his X account after the game, heaped praises on Isak and Gordon.
“Sad day for Arsenal fans losing out to Newcastle, but I strongly feel these two players, Isak and Gordon of Newcastle, are arguably the most exciting duo and slightly most underrated players of the Premier League this season.
“Just love the variety they bring each game, and Isak is currently my favorite player of the Premier League. What a bunch of talent!!”
Both Isak and Gordon have been impressive for Eddie Howe’s side so far this season.
They have helped Newcastle occupy the 5th position on the Premier League table with 35 points after 20 games.
