Alexander Isak has introduced itself to Liverpool for real.
In the league cup came the first hit.
– I feel in good shape, says the Swede to Sky Sports.
It is just minutes from the half -time rest when Southampton’s goalkeeper McCarthy tried to hit a pass that became easy for Chiesa to read.
Then Alexander Isak stood alone in front of the goal and cooled chilly into the net roof. It marks his first in the Liverpool shirt.
– I’m happy. It’s still early. New club, new teammates. But I feel good. It is a fantastic club to be a part of. And for each match it will be better, says Isak after the match.
Was sold for SEK 1.65 billion
The Swede was presented by the club on September 1 after a long serial. The 26-year-old who made a success in Newcastle began training refusal during the summer and his exit from the club aroused strong reactions. When the deal finally finished, he was Premier League’s most expensive player of all time.
Since then, the Liverpool fans have had to wait for his debut in the red sweater in the English league. Against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, he took a seat in the starting eleven, but went from there speechless.
During Tuesday night in the League Cup against Southampton, he hit his first goal for the new club and gave that lead to Liverpool.
Celebrated heel
At half -time, Isaac was replaced by Liverpool’s second billion acquisition Hugo Ekitiké, which he also painted. Ekitiké put 2-1 in the final minutes after Southampton managed to acknowledge. Thus, Liverpool is further in the cup.
– It was nice to get minutes, but it was a competition match and the most important thing is to win, and score goals, says Isak.
After his victory goal, Ekitiket celebrated taking off his sweater and was therefore expelled because he had already pulled on a yellow card in the initial minutes of the second half. Now the 23-year-old misses this weekend’s match in the Premier League.
On Saturday, Liverpool meets Crystal Palace.
