Liverpool forward Alexander Isak has recorded three goals in three Premier League appearances under manager Andoni Iraola. This follows a two-goal performance in a 2-0 win against Ipswich Town at Portman Road, where the striker scored twice within the first nine minutes. Both goals originated from assists by Cody Gakpo, signaling a developing partnership between the two players. Isak struggled with injuries and a lower scoring rate during his first season at Anfield following his £125m transfer from Newcastle United in 2025. The current shift toward a more vertical, intense tactical framework under Iraola has allowed Isak to utilize his speed in open space rather than receiving the ball with his back to goal. The squad looks to maintain this momentum as the season progresses.
