The Sweden international bagged his first goal in the red shirt during Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup victory over Southampton at Anfield.
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’s men so far this season.
“I think especially when you play for a club like Liverpool, you’ve got to compete on all fronts,” Isak told Liverpoolfc.com post-match.
“That’s the main goal: to be competitive in all competitions, going out to every game wanting to win.”
Isak’s 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.
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.
He said: “All 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.”
