"Alexander Isak finally scored for Liverpool in the Premier League as Arne Slot's men earned a comfortable 2-0 win over 10-man West Ham at the London Stadium. The Sweden striker coolly slotted home on the hour mark in his sixth top-flight appearance since joining from Newcastle United. Lucas Paqueta got himself needlessly sent off for West Ham with six minutes remaining, before Cody Gakpo netted in injury time as Liverpool ended a run of three straight losses in all competitions."
"Isak has endured a miserable start to life at Liverpool, with his only goal prior to this fixture coming in the EFL Cup against Southampton. But the 26-year-old netted on his sixth Premier League appearance from his 10th shot for Liverpool, and now has six career goals against West Ham - his joint-most against any side alongside Nottingham Forest and Tottenham."
Alexander Isak scored his first Premier League goal for Liverpool, slotting home on the hour mark in a 2-0 victory over 10-man West Ham at the London Stadium. Cody Gakpo added a late goal in injury time after Lucas Paqueta was sent off for two yellow cards in quick succession. Alphonse Areola produced a point-blank save to deny Isak and also denied Florian Wirtz during a low-quality first half. Liverpool ended a three-match losing run. Isak had three shots (two on target), a personal xG of 0.72, 13 touches and three passes, easing pressure on him.
