Alexander Isak scored his first Premier League goal at Anfield since joining Liverpool for a British-record £125m from Newcastle United. The Swedish forward opened the scoring in the 35th minute of the 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace. Isak reacted first to a deflected shot from Alexis Mac Allister, lifting the ball over goalkeeper Dean Henderson from close range.
The goal is the striker's first for the club in 2026, following a lengthy injury absence earlier this season. Andy Robertson and Florian Wirtz also scored for the hosts, though the win was tempered by a hamstring injury to Mohamed Salah, per Liverpool.com.
Liverpool signed Isak on a six-year contract in September 2025, according to The Guardian. The win helps Arne Slot's side in its pursuit of a Champions League qualification place. Crystal Palace had briefly threatened a comeback through a controversial Daniel Munoz goal, but Wirtz secured the three points with a late third, per NBC Sports.
