Isak scores first Liverpool goal in League Cup win, Chelsea survive scare
LONDON: Alexander Isak scored his first Liverpool goal to inspire a 2-1 win against Southampton in the League Cup third round, while Chelsea survived a scare to beat third-tier Lincoln on Tuesday. Isak was making his third appearance for Liverpool since his British record £125 million ($169 million) move from Newcastle on transfer deadline day.

Isak, who had scored for Newcastle in their League Cup final win against Liverpool last season, was taken off at half-time as he builds up his fitness after missing pre-season training while his transfer was being negotiated. Shea Charles equalized for the Championship side in the 76th minute with a close-range finish after a wayward header from Liverpool’s Wataru Endo.

The French striker took off his shirt to celebrate and was dismissed for a second bookable offense. Liverpool have made a perfect start to the season, with seven successive wins, including five in the Premier League to take them to the top of the table and one in the Champions League against Atletico. “Not our best performance.
