Alexander Isak Calls for Caution Despite Scoring His First Goal

Alexander Isak finally scored his first Premier League goal in Liverpool’s 2-0 victory against West Ham on the 13th matchday. The €144 million striker converted a cross from Cody Gakpo in the second half, ending a ten-match scoring drought that highlighted the team’s struggles under Arne Slot, with nine defeats in twelve games. Mohamed Salah was benched, while Florian Wirtz, returning from a minor injury, provided more energy behind the 26-year-old forward.

After the match, the Swedish international expressed his relief and the significance of the win. “Of course, I know I had been waiting a long time for this moment, and I’ve been trying to find my best form. I’m still on that path, but I’m happy to have scored. The best part today is that we won; it’s a great way to build team spirit. It also helps me individually, as a striker, scoring goals always aids me. We need to use this victory wisely but remain humble, as we’ve gone through a tough period. One win doesn’t mean we’re back; we must stay focused and keep working hard to maintain this momentum,” he said.
