Alexander Isak scores twice to give Liverpool first win at Ipswich

Summary

Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory against Ipswich on Friday, marking the club's first win under manager Andoni Iraola. Striker Alexander Isak recorded both goals within the opening 10 minutes of the match. The performance moves Isak to three goals in three Premier League games this season. The forward, who joined the club 12 months ago for a reported £125 million, struggled with a fibula injury that sidelined him for three months during his debut year. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk praised Isak's recovery and work ethic following his return to fitness. Teammate Cody Gakpo provided the assists for both goals after staying with the club despite reported interest from Manchester City late in the transfer window.
