Alexander Isak finally opened his account for Liverpool, and his breakthrough strike proved decisive as the Reds earned a much-needed away victory against West Ham in the Premier League. The new signing struck on the hour mark, guiding a precise low effort into the net from the centre of the box to give Liverpool control of the match.

Deep into stoppage time, Cody Gakpo capitalised on a defensive blunder from the Hammers and hammered the ball home to secure a 2–0 victory — only the second league win for Arne Slot’s side in the past two months.
