Liverpool's £125m signing had come off the bench and finished wonderfully past Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to give Arne Slot's side the lead. On the touchline, Slot was ecstatic after seeing Isak combine with Florian Wirtz, who got his first Premier League assist after signing for £116m in the summer. Yet within seconds, that joy turned to concern as Isak lay on the floor in agony after Micky van de Ven's tackle. "But if a player scores and then gets injured and doesn't try to come back on the pitch, that's usually not a good thing." That is not what you expect and maybe that tells you where we are in this season," Slot told BBC Match of the Day.
