Liverpool secured their first Premier League victory of the season as Alexander Isak scored twice in the opening nine minutes of a 2-0 away win against Ipswich.
The result came in the third round of the Premier League and moved Liverpool on to five points after three matches. Head coach Andoni Iraola subsequently shared his reaction to the victory over Ipswich.
Isak made the decisive impact almost immediately. The Sweden forward opened the scoring in the sixth minute before adding a second goal just three minutes later to complete his brace.
Liverpool’s two-goal burst settled the contest early, with the Merseyside club taking control of the away fixture through Isak’s clinical finishing. His goals provided the difference between the teams and ensured Liverpool left Ipswich with their first league win of the campaign.
The result gives Liverpool five points from their opening three Premier League matches. Their record at this stage includes the win at Ipswich, with Isak’s double delivering the points in the latest fixture.
Iraola, Liverpool’s head coach, commented on the outcome after the final whistle and spoke about the significance of the victory. The win was achieved through Isak’s rapid double, with both goals arriving before the 10-minute mark.
Liverpool’s next confirmed fixture will take place on 9 September, when Atletico visit their home ground in the Champions League. The Merseyside side will therefore turn their attention to European competition after beginning their Premier League campaign with five points from three games.
The meeting with Atletico will be Liverpool’s next home match and follows the away success against Ipswich. For now, the focus remains on the result that gave Iraola’s team their first Premier League victory, with Isak’s two early strikes determining the final score.
Isak’s contribution was the central feature of the match. His goals in the sixth and ninth minutes put Liverpool two goals ahead in the opening stages and ultimately proved enough to secure the points. Ipswich were unable to overturn that early deficit, while Liverpool protected their advantage to claim a 2-0 victory.
With three rounds completed, Liverpool have collected five points in the Premier League. Their away win against Ipswich was the first time they had taken maximum points in the competition this season, and it leaves them preparing for their Champions League meeting with Atletico on 9 September.
