Alexander Isak admitted a weight had finally lifted after breaking his Premier League duck for Liverpool in a badly needed win at West Ham . Isak struck on the hour at the London Stadium‚ guiding Cody Gakpo 's pass into the bottom corner to set Arne Slot 's side on their way to a 2-0 victory that stopped a grim run of nine defeats in twelve matches. The £125million striker had been denied repeatedly by Alphonse Areola before he finally scored‚ ending a ten-game wait that summed up Liverpool's wider struggles during a damaging spell for their new manager.
