Alexander Isak scored his first Premier League goal for Liverpool, helping the team secure a 2-0 win over West Ham United. The Sweden striker, who had looked short of form and fitness, finally broke his goal drought in the 60th minute, converting a Cody Gakpo pull-back with a low shot past Alphonse Areola.
Isak’s goal marked his first league score since playing for Newcastle against Brighton in May, ending a 10-match goalless streak for both club and country. Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised Isak’s performance, saying, “He is a top striker. This finish was very good”.
The win marked Liverpool’s first victory in four games, ending a dismal run of nine losses in 12 matches. Isak’s goal sparked relief for Slot, who had faced mounting pressure. The team’s next match is against Sunderland at Anfield on December 3.
