A day of firsts at Anfield and maybe lasts, too. For the first time, their £100m men were twinned on the scoresheet as, for the first time, Alexander Isak struck for Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield. Andy Robertson scored what is very likely to be his last one. One glorious era is ending, even if Liverpool have insufficient evidence so far that their colossal spending will herald the start of another.
It was about the old and the new. Florian Wirtz’s 96th-minute goal, classily hooked in from 12 yards, meant he and Isak scored in the same game, even if the Swede had gone off by then. Robertson’s strike meant the three scorers could have a combined cost of £249m, although he only accounts for £8m of it.
