Liverpool's Isak and Arsenal's Gyokeres led from the front, netting a goal each and being a constant threat, with Yasin Ayari scoring a brace and Mattias Svanberg adding one as Sweden surged to the top of Group F ahead of Japan and the Netherlands.
Potter was delighted with the Isak and Gyokeres partnership.
"Individually, of course, they are top players but I think together they can be a real threat," Potter said. "I think they’ll get better and better the more they play; they complement each other very well."

"I’m really pleased with the players," he added. "We know the quality of the individuals in the front positions but they needed a team to function.
"We weren’t perfect; we knew we wouldn’t be. But at the start of the game I thought we had good control."

Up next are the Netherlands and Potter knows his side have to produce another top-notch performance against the three-time FIFA World Cup runners-up who drew 2-2 with Japan after twice having taken the lead.
"We know we’ll meet a top team next and we have to be ready for that," said Potter.
