Andoni Iraola is confident Alexander Isak will maintain his fine run of form as long as Liverpool keep creating chances for him.

Isak made it six goals in the Premier League this season as he netted the Reds' second in a 2-0 win over Brighton at Anfield.

He nudged in from close range after meeting Bradley Barcola's low centre.

The Sweden international has scored in three straight top-flight matches for the first time since January 2025, when he went on a run of eight consecutive games with a goal for Newcastle United.

Isak struggled for form last season following his record-breaking transfer from Newcastle, but Iraola feels the striker is getting back towards his best.

"Alex is threatening, especially if we can get him in those positions," said Iraola.

"In this case, it's a matter of [Barcola] winning the duel and being faster than the opposition to get us in that position.

"If we can put him in those positions, we can provide him [with] good crosses, good situations; he will score the goals."

Only Erling Haaland (nine) has scored more Premier League goals this season than Isak, who told Sky Sports: "The performance was really good against a really good team. The first half is what we want to be about: winning balls and the intensity."

Liverpool recorded their first Premier League home win since April (v Crystal Palace), ending a run of five without one (D4 L1), as Iraola picked up his first top-flight triumph at Anfield.

Yasin Ayari missed a great early chance for in-form Brighton, but Florian Wirtz's strike then deflected in off Pascal Gross.

Ayari hit the woodwork after Isak had made it 2-0, but Liverpool were relatively untroubled as they saw out the three points.

However, Wirtz did have to go off due to an ankle issue.

"Unfortunately, he had to leave the pitch with a small twist of the ankle," Iraola said of Wirtz.

"It doesn't look very bad, but we are playing every three days, so we need to see where he is."

Liverpool take on Chelsea in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, before facing Arsenal in the league next weekend.
