He had failed to score in his five topflight appearances since making a British record £125 million (S$214 million) move from Newcastle United in September.
The Sweden forward banished that drought at the London Stadium with only his second goal in 11 games in all competitions for the Reds, following his maiden strike in a League Cup win against second-tier Southampton.
Cody Gakpo bagged Liverpool’s second goal in stoppage time to secure their first win in four games in all competitions.
Hampered by injuries and a lack of match fitness after missing preseason due to his protracted transfer saga, Isak was on target in the league for the first time since netting for Newcastle against Brighton & Hove Albion in May.
