Alexander Isak scores first Liverpool goal since British record £125m move - after Arne Slot handed him start in Carabao Cup tie against Southampton

Alexander Isak scored his first Liverpool goal in their Carabao Cup third round tie against Southampton on Wednesday evening.

Isak was handed a start by Arne Slot for the clash at Anfield as the Swedish striker builds up his fitness having spent much of the summer on strike at Newcastle while he tried to force through a move.

Isak was one of 11 changes made by the Dutchman and it was his second start for the club after also playing 58 minutes against Atletico Madrid last week.
