Isak extends hot streak as Liverpool sink Brighton

Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 at Anfield, giving Andoni Iraola his first Premier League victory at the ground. Pascal Gross turned Florian Wirtz’s shot into his own net in the 17th minute, and Alexander Isak added a second four minutes later from Bradley Barcola’s cross. Isak now has six league goals in seven games and has scored in three consecutive league appearances. Liverpool moved up to fourth, one point behind Brighton and six points behind leaders Manchester City.
