Alexander Isak admitted a weight had finally lifted after breaking his Premier League duck for Liverpool in a badly needed win at West Ham.
Isak struck on the hour at the London Stadium, guiding Cody Gakpo's pass into the bottom corner to set Arne Slot's side on their way to a 2-0 victory that stopped a grim run of nine defeats in twelve matches.
The £125million striker had been denied repeatedly by Alphonse Areola before he finally scored, ending a ten-game wait that summed up Liverpool's wider struggles during a damaging spell for their new manager.
