Isak double at Ipswich earns Iraola first Liverpool win

Alexander Isak scored two goals for Liverpool against Ipswich Town, helping the team secure their first Premier League win of the season at Portman Road. This victory came after a 12-month transfer from Newcastle United, during which Isak's performance was his most devastating since the move. The Swedish striker found the back of the net twice within the first nine minutes, capitalizing on Cody Gakpo's incisive pass to put Liverpool ahead.

The Dutch midfielder, Andoni Iraola, who took charge of the match, was responsible for both goals in this swift start, marking his first win as manager of Liverpool. Ipswich Town, meanwhile, dropped to 13th place in the table after this defeat. Liverpool's victory came just three minutes after they took the lead during a Premier League match this season, which had previously seen them trailing against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle.

Isak's second goal came three minutes after his first, solidifying the win. The home side had a chance to reduce the deficit in the first half when Ronald Araujo came on full debut to block Daizen Maeda's attempt, but Isak was later denied a hat-trick after the assistant referee raised the flag incorrectly at the half-time whistle.

In the second half, Ipswich attempted to press Liverpool's defense, but despite their efforts and several new signings, they failed to create chances to match Liverpool's pace.
