Liverpool star Isak back to his best, says Iraola

The Sweden striker is finally beginning to repay his £125 million fee after a turbulent debut season following his move from Newcastle.

Liverpool star Isak back to his best, says Iraola

Andoni Iraola, Liverpool's new manager, praised Alexander Isak as "back to his deadly best" following the team's 2-0 victory against Brighton at Anfield. The Spanish manager highlighted Isak's recent scoring streak, with the Swedish striker netting six goals in seven league games this season and three goals in his last four matches.

Iraola attributed Isak's improved form to the team's ability to provide him with good crosses and positions, allowing him to capitalize on scoring opportunities. The victory, marked by Iraola's side winning duels, recovering possession, and being dangerous in transitions, was seen as a crucial first taste of top-flight success for Iraola, who had yet to secure a league win at Anfield during his tenure.

Despite facing a strong Brighton side and enduring an injury to playmaker Florian Wirtz, Liverpool managed to overcome obstacles and secure their fourth consecutive win.
