What happened
Andoni Iraola got his Liverpool reign off to a winning start with a victory over Ipswich Town. Alexander Isak was the standout performer, netting both goals to give the visitors the three points. The result provides an early platform for Iraola to build on as he looks to implement his tactical approach at Anfield. Ipswich, meanwhile, were left to reflect on a defeat at Portman Road against a Liverpool side that looked sharp going forward.
Chance analysis
A debut win for Andoni Iraola is exactly the kind of statement result Liverpool needed to set the tone for a new era. Isak delivering a brace underlines his value as the focal point of the attack and gives Iraola an immediate template to lean on. The challenge now is whether the defensive shape can be tightened — Ipswich created enough to suggest the back line is still finding its identity under the new staff.
Liverpool's attack looks potent under Iraola with Isak in form, though defensive solidity remains an open question after conceding at Portman Road.
