Liverpool secured their first Premier League victory of the 2024-25 season with a 2-0 win over newly promoted Ipswich Town. Alexander Isak scored both goals, netting within the opening nine minutes to give the Reds an early lead. The win marked the first success for new manager Andoni Iraola, who took over after Arne Slot was sacked following a disappointing title defense last season.
Isak’s performance was decisive, with his two goals proving crucial in a tightly contested match at Portman Road. The Swedish striker, who has been a key target for Liverpool in recent transfers, showed his quality and consistency. His brace not only secured the win but also highlighted his growing importance to the team.
Gakpo also played a role in the victory, contributing to the attack and helping to maintain Liverpool’s momentum. The win ended a frustrating run of five consecutive league games without a win, offering a much-needed boost to the team’s confidence.
The result was widely praised by national media, with many highlighting Isak’s impact and the tactical adjustments made by Iraola. The win sets a positive tone for Liverpool as they look to build on this success in the coming weeks.
