  "account": "Alexander Isak has finally begun to live up to his £125 million price tag with Liverpool this season. Despite struggling initially and suffering a broken leg in December, the Sweden striker has now scored six goals in 11 Premier League games, more than half of Liverpool's total. His goal against Brighton on Sunday helped the Reds secure an impressive 2-0 victory, their first at Anfield under manager Andoni Iraola. Isak, averaging nearly a goal per game, is currently Liverpool's second-highest scorer behind Erling Haaland and could prove a significant threat in the coming fixtures.",
