Isak strikes as Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 at Anfield
Brighton arrived at Anfield having scored 23 goals in their first seven games of the season, but they lacked a clinical edge in the final third. Yasin Ayari blasted a golden chance over the bar moments before the opener and later struck the post with a curling effort from outside the box. Liverpool had opportunities to extend their lead, wasting several counter-attacks and drawing saves from Bart Verbruggen against Ronald Araujo and Cody Gakpo. However, their first-half flurry proved sufficient to secure a first Premier League home win under manager Andoni Iraola. The result moved Liverpool up to fourth place in the table, while Brighton suffered only their second loss of the season. The victory highlights Liverpool's improved defensive solidity and Isak's consistent form, setting the stage for their next fixtures.
