""It's very important for us as a team that we went 1-0 up, but I think it was also important for him because I think it was his third or fourth chance of this game," Reds head coach Slot said. "I don't think there was much more than 10 minutes in him to go, so then to score just before you come off was important for us, but also for him.""
""Mo has had an unbelievable career here at this club and will have a very good future at this club because he's such a special player," Slot added. "We have four games in 10 days with only 14 to 15 outfield players available for us. Then you have to decide once in a while to make a certain line-up and you try to pick the best line-up for every single game.""
Alexander Isak scored his first Premier League goal for Liverpool in a 2-0 victory at West Ham, lashing in to put Liverpool 1-0 up shortly before being substituted for Hugo Ekitike. The strike ended an eight-match goalless run and followed only a solitary Carabao Cup goal since his £125million summer transfer from Newcastle. Arne Slot described the goal as important for both Isak and the team and noted it came after several chances in the game. Slot omitted Mohamed Salah from the starting line-up for the first Premier League time since April 2024 and did not bring him on. Liverpool face Sunderland midweek and travel to Leeds next weekend amid a congested schedule and limited outfield numbers.
