Inside Alexander Isak’s return to form at Liverpool as Andoni Iraola strikes gold

Alexander Isak has found top form for Liverpool under manager Andoni Iraola, scoring his seventh Premier League goal in nine matches during a 3-1 win at Crystal Palace. The match-clinching strike made Isak the first Liverpool player since Mohamed Salah to score in four consecutive away league matches. He now has eight goals in all competitions, double his tally from his injury-disrupted debut campaign.

Ian Doyle highlights Isak's growing efficiency and adaptation to Iraola's tactical demands, including his praised off-the-ball movement. With a 28% shot conversion rate outperforming rivals like Erling Haaland, the £125 million striker is establishing himself as an elite out-and-out number nine ahead of Liverpool's upcoming clash with Manchester United.
