Liverpool won 2-0 at Ipswich Town in the Premier League, with Alexander Isak's brace inside the first nine minutes giving them all the goals they needed.
Isak opened the scoring from Cody Gakpo's assist in the sixth minute and made it 2-0 three minutes later, Gakpo again the provider. Ipswich kept pushing but no further goals followed.
The stats show a close game turned by Liverpool's sharp finishing: Ipswich had 14 shots to Liverpool's 10, but Liverpool placed seven on target to Ipswich's five. Expected goals were almost level — 0.67 for Ipswich against 0.66 for Liverpool — meaning Isak's early double carried the day.
