Liverpool forward Alexander Isak scored both goals in a 2-0 away win over Ipswich in the third round of the new Premier League season, taking his personal total to three goals after three matches.
The Sweden international also addressed his form at the beginning of the campaign, saying: “It is good that last season is behind me.”
Isak’s two goals secured victory for Liverpool against Ipswich and provided the clearest indication yet of his effectiveness in front of goal during the opening weeks of the new Premier League campaign. His latest performance means he has scored three times in the competition after three games.
Liverpool’s success came on the road, with Isak responsible for both goals in a match that ended 2-0. The result gave the forward a decisive role in the outcome and ensured that every goal Liverpool scored in the fixture came from the same player.
His comments focused on the contrast between the previous season and the start of the current one. Rather than looking back, Isak indicated that he was pleased to have moved beyond last season and was concentrating on the new campaign.
The forward’s scoring record now stands at three goals in three Premier League appearances. That total includes his two-goal display against Ipswich and marks a productive opening to the new competition.
Liverpool’s win was achieved without conceding, while the 2-0 scoreline reflected Isak’s contribution at both ends of the result: he supplied all of the team’s goals, and Liverpool kept Ipswich from scoring. For the visiting side, the outcome was defined by the Sweden international’s finishing.
The fixture was the third round of the new Premier League season, meaning Liverpool’s latest result forms part of the opening sequence of matches in the competition. Isak’s three goals have come across those first three games, with his most recent appearance producing his highest single-match total so far this season.
The striker’s remarks and his performance against Ipswich therefore arrived together. He described it as positive that last season was now behind him, then followed that message with two goals in a 2-0 victory. The result leaves his early-season record at three goals from three Premier League matches and makes him the central figure in Liverpool’s latest win.
