Alexander Isak struck twice in rapid succession to hand new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola his first victory in charge, as the club claimed a 2-0 win away at Ipswich.

Iraola had been searching for his opening win after two matches without a victory since taking over at Anfield. The Spaniard finally had reason to celebrate thanks to a clinical display from Isak, whose brace settled the contest and gave Liverpool all three points on the road.

The result will provide a timely confidence boost for Iraola as he continues to build his philosophy into the squad, with Liverpool now able to look up the table rather than over their shoulders.
