ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL // Liverpool has relied on four late goals in the Premier League so far this season and mustered another one through Virgil van Dijk after squandering a two-goal lead against Atletico Madrid.
Within six minutes, Liverpool had gone 2-0 up through Andy Robertson and then Mohamed Salah, only for Marcos Llorente to pull a goal back just before half-time, despite the Reds having largely dominated to that point.
The Liverpool boss had said it was "the plan all along" to start Isak in this game, but the expectation was that he would only play 45 minutes.
Making his first start in 115 days, having played just a few minutes for Sweden in between, Isak did well.
