Isak Brace Seals Iraola First Liverpool Win

Isak Fires Liverpool to First Win Under Iraola

Alexander Isak needed just nine minutes to change the narrative. Two early goals at Portman Road gave Liverpool a 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town and handed new manager Andoni Iraola his first Premier League win.

The Swedish striker finished clinical moves created by Cody Gakpo, ending a slow start to the season for the Reds and silencing early questions about their title credentials.

He’s a massive player for us. My demands will not be about the goals — he is fit and in good shape, so he is probably going to get those.— Andoni Iraola, Liverpool manager, post-match interview

Iraola was satisfied with the professional performance, especially the high press that fed Isak in advanced areas. Bradley Barcola remained on the bench for his debut wait, while Ronald Araujo made a solid full debut at right-back.

Liverpool’s official account shared the second goal combination. Official club posts remain the preferred way to surface match action without rehosting rights-restricted media.

The result lifts Liverpool after two draws and gives Iraola breathing space heading into a busy September. Ipswich remain searching for their first points of the campaign.

Fans looking for live scores or the weekend TV schedule can now shift focus to Saturday’s slate, including Newcastle versus Bournemouth on TNT Sports in the UK and USA Network in the US.
