Alexander Isak didn\u2019t have many opportunities to repay his club-record \u00a3125m transfer fee<\/a> in his first season at Liverpool, but on Monday night he offered a reminder of why the Reds were so desperate to sign him last summer.<\/p>\n

Fitness issues and a broken leg<\/a> heavily curtailed the 26-year-old\u2019s on-field involvement since his high-profile move from Newcastle nine months ago, and his debut campaign at Anfield ended with just four goals in 22 appearances<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That didn\u2019t prevent him from being named in Sweden\u2019s squad for the World Cup, though, and he produced a moment to remember despite his country going down to a 3-1 defeat to Norway last night.<\/p>\n

Isak nets stunning solo goal for Sweden<\/p>\n

With 15 minutes of normal time remaining, Mattias Svanberg launched a counterattack with a sublime long-range pass from defence which fell straight into the path of Isak, who gathered the ball about 40 yards from goal.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool striker charged at Sondre Langas and accelerated into the penalty area before sidestepping the Norway defender and curling an unstoppable shot into the far corner of the home side\u2019s net, with Orjan Nyland powerless to stop it.<\/p>\n

Hopefully Isak can shush his critics at the World Cup<\/p>\n

The goal may have counted for little in the overall scheme of things, but it would\u2019ve meant plenty to Isak after the difficulties he\u2019s endured since joining Liverpool last year.<\/p>\n

Yes, there have been a few performances where we\u2019ve been looking for so much more<\/a> from the 26-year-old, but he showed with his wonderstrike on Monday just what he\u2019s capable of producing when he\u2019s at his sharpest.<\/p>\n

Provided that no further injury issues flare up over the next fortnight, the Sweden striker will go to the World Cup reinvigorated and ready to remind his detractors just why the Reds made him their club-record signing.<\/p>\n

If Isak and his nation enjoy a positive tournament in North America, it should enable him to return to Liverpool later in the summer on a high and freshly revitalised to make a consistent impact at Anfield next season.<\/p>\n

For the Reds\u2019 sake and for his, here\u2019s hoping that he takes the World Cup by storm and silences the critics who\u2019ve been queuing up to hammer him since his tempestuous departure from Newcastle.<\/p>\n
