Liverpool secured a win against Ipswich Town at Portman Road on September 4, 2026, behind two early goals from Alexander Isak. Both goals resulted from passes delivered by Cody Gakpo, with the first arriving six minutes into the match and the second following three minutes later. Manager Andoni Iraola credited the performance to an improved team press that allowed players to recover the ball in advanced positions. The result provides a lift for the club following a difficult start to the campaign that included a loss in the opening match against Newcastle. Isak, who missed significant time last season due to injury, continues to work with the coaching staff on his broader role in holding up play and supporting counter-attacking transitions.
