The Sweden international bagged his first goal in the red shirt during Tuesday night\u2019s Carabao Cup victory over Southampton at Anfield.<\/p>\n
A 2-1 win to kick off their League Cup campaign added to a 100 per cent record across the Premier League and Champions League for Arne Slot\u2019s men so far this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think especially when you play for a club like Liverpool, you\u2019ve got to compete on all fronts,\u201d Isak told Liverpoolfc.com post-match.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the main goal: to be competitive in all competitions, going out to every game wanting to win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Isak\u2019s finish put Liverpool 1-0 up against Saints just a few minutes prior to half-time and his withdrawal, as he continues to build up match sharpness following his arrival from Newcastle United.<\/p>\n
A typically confident first-time stroke past the goalkeeper, he was assisted by impactful play by Federico Chiesa, who closed down in the box, won the ball and squared it to the No.9.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cAll of the work was really done by Fede, a high-pressure regain and from that moment I was trying to be in the right place, which I was and I just tucked it away.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Sweden international bagged his first goal in the red shirt during Tuesday night\u2019s Carabao Cup victory over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[13514,64,63,13515,596,13503,13510,13505,13516,13518,13517,7886,13509,13508,13504,13513,13506,13511,85,13507,13512],"class_list":["post-168281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-alisson","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-firmino","tag-football","tag-homepage","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-sports","tag-the-reds","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
