Alexander Isak bags an early brace for Liverpool vs Ipswich

sportsSep 4, 202629325

Alexander Isak scored twice inside the opening nine minutes at Portman Road to put Liverpool 2-0 up against Ipswich. Cody Gakpo provided a pinpoint through-ball for the first, and posts credited Gakpo with a brilliant assist overall. The brace put Isak on three Premier League goals so far, matching his total from last season, and one post noted Isak is the first Liverpool player to score twice in the first nine minutes of a match since Maxi Rodríguez in May 2011. Liverpool kept a clean sheet and took all three points, with several posts naming Isak man of the match and praising new signings getting minutes. Manager Andoni Iraola was mentioned implicitly in match coverage, while Gakpo commented on building an understanding with Isak and expecting more mutual assists.

Redknapp; “Liverpool fans will be asking “why did we not see this with Isak for so long?” Erm…just spiff balling here Jamie lad. But maybe something to do with him having a broken leg? Could be wrong.

…and that after not having a preseason at all. Some people just have applesauce for brains.

Alexander Isak is the first Liverpool player to score twice in the first 9 minutes of any game since Maxi Rodríguez v Fulham in May 2011. #LFC

Tight call that. Either way it looks like Alexander Isak has got his goal scoring mojo back. Now don’t get injured again mate. #LFC

Much better, lads! A fun watch, great to see Isak getting back to form for us, & glad to see Barcola get his first minutes. Hopefully more time together just keeps building relationships, building familiarity, building trust. Very glad to see the team over clapping the away end, too. ☺️ #LFC #IPSLIV

That was much better! Isak really needed those goals, hopefully it'll fill him with the confidence he needs to go on and score loads more! I can relax now this weekend and happily watch the other matches with no stress ❤️ Have a nice weekend Reds ❤️❤️ #YNWA #LFC #Redsky

First win of the season and a clean sheet! Iraola needs to sort out the 2nd half performances, but finally a win. #lfc #Redsky #YNWA

GOAL! ISAK! That's a beauty of a goal! Gakpo cuts inside and threads it through to Isak with a pinpoint through-ball. The Swede takes a touch then powers home at the near post. #LFC take the lead under Andoni Iraola for the first time! #LFC 🔗

Really happy for Isak to get his moment. His transfer was un-Liverpool and created a seed of mistrust with some of our fans. Not everyone accepted him, but I'm happy the traveling Kop gave him his flowers! Up The REDS!!!! #LFC
