Alexander Isak Scores First Liverpool Premier League Goal at Anfield After £125m Move
Alexander Isak scored his first Premier League goal at Anfield for Liverpool, ending a long goal drought for the striker who cost a British record £125 million. This was also Isak's first goal of 2026 and came in Liverpool's first home league win with him in the starting lineup.
Alexander Isak finally broke through at Anfield, scoring his first Premier League goal for Liverpool in what many hope will be a turning point for the Swedish striker.
The goal ended a frustrating drought for Isak, who joined Liverpool for a British record £125 million but had struggled to find his form. This was his first goal of 2026 and came in Liverpool's first home league victory with him in the starting lineup.
"I'm aware that it's been a long time coming," Isak told Sky Sports after the match. "I've been trying to get back to my best form and I'm still on the way. But I'm happy to have that goal."
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown, a three-time Premier League winner, said the moment was crucial for the expensive signing. "It's been a long time coming for someone who cost a British record transfer fee," Keown noted. "But that feeling of celebrating with the home fans is something for him to build on."
Isak was visibly emotional after scoring, smiling broadly as he celebrated with Liverpool supporters for the first time in a long while.
Isak's goal could signal a comeback for one of soccer's most expensive players who has struggled to justify his massive price tag. His success or failure affects Liverpool's championship hopes and shows how even elite athletes face pressure to perform after big investments.
Watch whether Isak can build momentum from this goal and establish himself as Liverpool's main striker in upcoming matches.
