Liverpool beats Brighton as Isak scores twice at Anfield
Alexander Isak scored twice in Liverpool's 2-0 defeat of Brighton, ending the visitors' four-game winning streak.
Alexander Isak struck for the sixth time in six Premier League games as Liverpool showed aggression and control. The hosts opened the scoring when Florian Wirtz's shot deflected off Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross.
Isak doubled the lead shortly after, steering Barcola's pass into the far corner. Brighton created chances but could not finish, with Yasin Ayari missing a glorious opportunity and striking the post.
