Second-half strikes from Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo handed Liverpool a 2–0 victory over West Ham United in Sunday’s Premier League encounter.
Isak, who arrived from Newcastle United in the summer, registered his first league goals for the club, helping the Reds snap a run of three straight defeats.
The breakthrough came on the hour mark when Isak calmly finished a low delivery from the left. West Ham’s task became even harder six minutes from time as Lucas Paquetá was sent off for dissent, leaving the hosts to finish the match with 10 men.
