Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised record signing Alexander Isak after the striker scored his first Premier League goal for the club in Sunday's 2-0 victory over West Ham.
Slot's bold decision to drop the out-of-form Mohamed Salah paid off, as the £125m signing from Newcastle converted with a clinical finish.
Isak admitted the goal was "a long time coming" and expressed relief at finally breaking his duck in the league, a result Slot will hope provides a catalyst for a sustained return to form for both the player and the team.
