The Sweden international was named in the starting XI for Saturdayâs Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at Anfield, which the Reds won 3-1.
It was Isakâs fifth appearance since completing his recovery from a lay-off following an ankle injury and fibula fracture in December that required surgery.
He marked it by opening the scoring in opportunistic fashion, controlling an Alexis Mac Allister shot and bouncing a finish past the goalkeeper.
Andy Robertson quickly made it 2-0 and though the game remained in the balance when Daniel Munoz later scored for Palace, a Florian Wirtz strike in added time sealed the points.
Liverpool climbed to fourth place in the table in the process and now have an eight-point cushion in the battle for Champions League qualification.

On Liverpool having to âdig deepâ for the victoryâŠ
Yeah, of course, Crystal Palace are a good competitor and never an easy game. I think we played well in big parts of the game and maybe it shouldnât have had to be that nervy at the end. We played well and really good from the lads as well to manage to get the third.
On the need to be patient to create chances against PalaceâŠ
For sure. Crystal Palace are one of the most difficult teams to score against and create chances. I think we showed weâve got the quality â weâve just got to keep this form.
On his goal and reacting to the shot from Mac AllisterâŠ
I felt like that shot was not going in so I kind of intercepted it and it became a good touch. Then I managed to put it into the back of the net.
On the feeling of being back on the scoresheet for the first time since his return to fitnessâŠ
For sure. Iâve been battling getting back to full fitness and obviously scoring a goal is probably the best way to finding your form again. Obviously Iâm really happy.
On the Player of the Match performance by goalkeeper Freddie WoodmanâŠ
I think he did absolutely brilliantly. Itâs never easy to come in, especially in a position like him where you have to be ready but itâs not often you get the chance. Itâs really big from him to be able to put on a performance like this. I think he deserved a clean sheet. But a really big performance from him.
