Alexander Isak has declared his difficult opening chapter at Liverpool firmly closed, and he backed up those words with a brace in the first nine minutes as Liverpool beat Ipswich 2-0 on Friday.

The Swedish striker's double arrived early and emphatically, setting the tone for a commanding victory that lifted Liverpool's spirits heading into the weekend.

Isak acknowledged the start to his Liverpool career had not been straightforward, but the performance at Ipswich signalled a clear turning point for the forward and his new club.
