West Ham United’s Greek defender #15 Konstantinos Mavropanos vies with Liverpool’s Swedish striker #09 Alexander Isak during the English Premier League football match between West Ham United and Liverpool at the London Stadium, in London on November 30, 2025.

LONDON — Alexander Isak finally scored his first Premier League goal for troubled Liverpool to inspire a much-needed 2-0 win at West Ham on Sunday.

Isak had failed to score in his five top-flight appearances since making a British record £125 million (RM683 million) move from Newcastle in September

 

The Sweden forward banished that drought at the London Stadium, although with only his second goal in 11 games in all competitions for the Reds, following his maiden strike in a League Cup win against second-tier Southampton.

Cody Gakpo bagged Liverpool’s second goal in stoppage time to secure their first win in four games in all competitions.

 

“There’s definitely a feeling of relief because if you have lost so many times, then winning is important. We hardly conceded a chance and we were able to create chances ourselves,” Reds boss Arne Slot said.
