Description:
Newcastle want to build their team around Alexander Isak, and one day they might just find Micky van de Ven buried amid the foundations.<br/><br/>The Premier League’s fastest-ever player was made to look like a tugboat by the home striker, whose speed of thought was too quick for the feet of the Tottenham defender, as rapid as they may be.<br/><br/>There was only one of that pair worthy of comparison to Usain Bolt here. For while Isak wore spikes, Van de Ven was in roller skates. Rio Ferdinand likened him to a Rolls Royce before kick-off. The Peckham-raised pundit could well have used a Robin Reliant post game.<br/><br/>
