Isak ignites lacklustre Liverpool in win over Bournemouth

Isak ignites lacklustre Liverpool in win over Bournemouth

Published by Sam Flores

Sept 20 : Striker Alexander Isak scored the only goal of the game just before the hour mark to give Liverpool a 1-0 Premier League win away to AFC Bournemouth on Sunday, a victory that masked his side’s struggles in attack.  The Swede has netted four times in the league as Liverpool remain unbeaten going into the international break but once again their front players struggled to gel, despite being able to call on the attacking talents of Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola.  Isak’s goal came about thanks to a Gakpo raid down the right but he was not the intended target; instead, the ball bobbled to him after Wirtz had been challenged by Bournemouth defender James Hill, and he slotted it home with a controlled finish in the 57th minute. Other than that, there was little for Liverpool coach Andoni Iraola to celebrate on his return to Bournemouth after leaving them when his contract expired in June.  “It’s very important for us to get goals, Alexander Isak included. It was a good win here, a …

Liverpool cruised into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield on Tuesday.

This summer marks the start of a new era at Liverpool. New boss Andoni Iraola has been named as the replacement for Arne Slot and is charged with bringing the good times back to Anfield. The Spaniard will have to do so without a host of key players as Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Traore all left the Reds at the end of last term. While a fresh start may be no bad thing for Liverpool and Iraola, it makes a positive pre-season all the more important. The start of the Premier League has been delayed due to the World Cup but already teams are stepping up their preparation for the 2026/26 campaign. Liverpool’s pre-season starts with a tour of the USA before they return to Anfield to host Monaco and Como in the weeks before the top flight kicks off. Radio Times brings you all the information on Liverpool’s pre-season, including how to watch. Read more football features: Best players in the world | Best players of all time | Live football on …

The Premier League giants go head to head for the third time this season at the Etihad Stadium, each looking to seal a return to Wembley. They now take on a Liverpool side who went into the international break on another low note after a 2-1 loss at Brighton, their 10th league defeat of the campaign so far that left the defending champions sitting fifth, five points adrift of the top four with seven games remaining amid more questions over the future of manager Arne Slot. John Stones is a doubt for City after withdrawing from England duty with a calf injury, with defensive colleague Josko Gvardiol still unavailable. Why is Pep Guardiola not on touchline for Man City vs Liverpool?
