He said afterwards: "That was massive, against a big team. It means a lot to the fans that we can win this game.
"It's special of course, our fans are amazing every game, win or lose. So it gives you an extra boost. I have been successful here so hopefully I can keep going.
"The cross was amazing, I just had to jump and put my head on the ball, so credit to him (Anthony Gordon)."
On taking his chance when it came, Isak continued: "Important. Arsenal have a strong defence and so it is a difficult task but I'm happy we could score today and keep a clean sheet.
"We've had a bad spell but hopefully this win can be a bit of an icebreaker for us."
