Alexander Isak settles Premier League debate with emphatic Liverpool response

Isak has scored in three consecutive Premier League games and now has six goals in ten appearances this season under Iraola.

Alexander Isak is rediscovering his goalscoring form at Liverpool after a difficult first season. The Swedish striker struggled with injuries last term, managing just four goals in 22 appearances, but has made a dramatic improvement this campaign with six goals in ten games across all competitions.

Isak has now scored in each of his last three Premier League matches against Brighton, Brentford and Bournemouth. He netted Liverpool's second goal in a 2-0 win over Brighton at Anfield, with manager Andoni Iraola praising his positioning and finishing. Isak told Sky Sports: "For sure, it's been way too long [waiting for a Premier League victory at Anfield], and I think it's a great way to do it: against an in-form team, and the way we did it as well, with a clean sheet."

The 27-year-old's six goals in ten games represents his best start to a season. Liverpool moved to within a point of third-placed Brighton following the victory.
