Alexander Isak finally living up to his £125m price tag as Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 in the Premier League. The Sweden striker's goal helped extend Liverpool's winning run, taking his season tally to six goals in just seven appearances. Isak is averaging nearly a goal per game and has scored more than half of Liverpool's league goals this campaign.
Despite a difficult start to his Anfield career - including a broken leg in December - the 27-year-old is now thriving under Jürgen Klopp. Only Erling Haaland has scored more goals this season. Isak's strike gave Liverpool control against a Brighton side that dominated possession with 64%.
The victory marked Brighton manager Andoni Iraola's first league win at Anfield. Isak emphasized the importance of intensity and winning balls in the first half. Liverpool next face Arsenal in their upcoming fixture.
