He is very different from Alexander Isak, but putting the ball in the back of the net is the only similarity that mattered for new striker Nick Woltemade and Newcastle United.
The German did not threaten to run in behind, or dare to dribble with elasticity and elan. As Eddie Howe readily admits, Isak is irreplaceable. But if the man who has taken his place in the team continues to play like this, he will scratch his very own St James' Park soundtrack.
And so, as Woltemade made way on 65 minutes as the scorer of what would prove to be the game's only goal, the choir in the stands took to their feet in worship.
