Isak was criticised for his debut season at Liverpool last year, which was marred by injury problems after a broken leg, and he scored only four goals, three of them in the Premier League.
It wasn't easy. It was a long-term injury, a tough season. I wanted to start with a good World Cup and then start this season well, which I feel I have done now. I have put last season behind me, says Alexander Isak to Sky Sports.
First victory
Alexander Isak scored last weekend against Nottingham and his two goals against Ipswich mean he has scored three goals in three games.
His double on Friday night also helped Liverpool to their first three points after two draws in the league opener.
Alexander Isak struck in the sixth minute when he outwitted home goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen with a shot at the near post under pressure.
Just three minutes later he struck again. After feinting away both centre-back Jacob Greaves and Scherpen in the same sequence, he was able to roll in the 2-0 after Cody Gakpo's opening pass from deep.
Close to hat-trick
The 26-year-old striker had the ball in the net for a hat-trick in the first half - but was flagged offside.
After just over an hour, it was game over for Alexander Isak, who was substituted with Liverpool meeting Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday in mind.
Alexander Isak cost Liverpool £125 million (around SEK 1.6 billion) in his transfer from Newcastle last summer. It was a new transfer record for the Premier League. A record that was equalled by Enzo Fernandez's move from Chelsea to Manchester City earlier this week.
