FULL-TIME: IPSWICH TOWN 0-2 LIVERPOOL

Not for the first time this evening, Enciso works an angle on the edge of the Liverpool before looking to bend the ball beyond Alisson. And not for the first time, Enciso's accuracy isn't quite there and the ball sails behind for a goal-kick.

Ipswich have another stab from range as McAteer works his way into space outside the Liverpool box. The shot is straight at Alisson, though, who makes a comfortable save.

Ipswich have definitely looked promising in the final third tonight - the final ball just hasn't been there for them to capitalise on the strong positions they've found themselves in.

The last Premier League game to be 2-0 after nine minutes and then end 2-0 was Wolves' win over Sheffield United in September 2020, which was 2-0 after six minutes.

CLARKE IS INCHES AWAY!! The hosts almost pull one back as Diop wins back possession from Wirtz in the Liverpool half. The ball then falls to Clarke outside the visitors' box before shooting with his right, only for the ball to deflect off Diop's boot and whistle just past the near post. That was close...

Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet in their last 13 Premier League matches. They're not far away from bagging a second, providing they continue to keep Ipswich out here.

Palacios is the first player to win possession 11 times on his first Premier League start since Iliman Ndiaye in August 2024 (12). The Argentinian has definitely made an impression in midfield tonight for the hosts.

Ipswich get forward for the first time in a while as the hosts find Davis on the left. Davis then finds Flemming a few yards outside the Liverpool box, and the latter then tries his luck with a rather tame right-footed effort, which is straight at Alisson. It'll have to get better than that for Ipswich...

Neither side has a shot in this game since the 60th minute. The second half has definitely been played at a slower pace than the first.

This is all about game management for Liverpool now. As long as they don't take any unnecessary risks, they should be fine...

It remains to be seen just how important that decision might be. A penalty there would have allowed Liverpool to wrap up the three points, yet it wasn't given, and the hosts are still in with a shout.

NO PENALTY!! VAR confirms Szoboszlai was in an offside position when the ball was played, and Ipswich are still in the game.

Ipswich might be given a reprieve as Szoboszlai might have been offside when Araujo played the ball...

LIVERPOOL THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE A PENALTY!! It comes from a wonderful ball from Araujo, who frees Szoboszlai down the right. The latter then breaks into the box past Davis, who looks to hook it behind for a corner, but appears to make contact with Szoboszlai's left boot in the process. That might get overturned...

Enciso has now attempted five shots in this game, which is more than any other player (ahead of Szoboszlai, who has had three). Can the Paraguayan go one step further and pull one back for his side, though?

ENCISO NEEDS TO DO BETTER!! Ipswich get forward once again as Palacios steals back possession from Isak. The former then finds Enciso, who drives at the Liverpool defence before looking to curl the ball inside the far post. It's a tame effort, though, and Alisson gets down to save before briefly spilling the ball in the Liverpool box. Fortunately for the visitors, no Ipswich player was lying in wait, and they survive.

Isak has made 13 runs behind the defensive line today – five more than anyone else. The Swedish forward has certainly looked more like his old self so far tonight.

Yellow Card

Kerkez is the latest Liverpool player to be booked for an incredibly rash challenge on Fatawu. That was always going to result in a yellow card.

Liverpool defender Araujo has won the most duels of any player in this game so far (eight out of nine), including all six of the aerial duels he has contested. It's been a positive showing for the Uruguayan in his first Liverpool start.

Ipswich have continued to threaten since the break and go close again as Enciso finds Fatawu on the left. The latter then cuts inside before trying to bend a left-footed effort into the far corner, but his accuracy isn't quite there, and the ball flies behind for a goal-kick.

The Ipswich fans are furious as they believe Jacquet should be shown a second yellow card in quick succession. Davis initially threaded an inviting ball behind for Emersonn to run onto, only for Jacquet to come across and bundle the Brazilian to the ground. Jacquet may have been a tad fortunate there...

Liverpool have won their last 22 away Premier League matches when leading by two or more goals since a 4-3 defeat to Bournemouth in December 2016. One more will surely bag Iraola his first three points as Liverpool manager.

comment

In the last two seasons, Szoboszlai has created more chances from set plays than any other Premier League player (42). The Hungarian has been outstanding for Liverpool so far tonight.

comment

Gary O'Neil has lost 14 out of 15 Premier League matches when losing by two or more goals at half-time; the other was a 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest with Bournemouth in September 2022. The Ipswich boss will be desperate to repeat those heroics tonight...

MAC ALLISTER HAS TO SCORE!! Liverpool should put the game to bed as Szoboszlai whips in a lovely corner towards the near post. It finds Mac Allister, who has a free header at goal, yet the Argentine's effort bobbles kindly into the hands of Scherpen. That could've been game over...

comment

The players are back out and the second half is underway!

•

comment

Remarkably, Ipswich actually recorded the higher xG across the opening 45 minutes (0.55 to Liverpool's 0.43). Still, the hosts have lost all 27 of their Premier League matches when trailing by two or more goals at half-time, and the Opta supercomputer is giving Ipswich a measly 1.7% chance of victory at the break. Unsurprisingly, the Liverpool win comes in at a commanding 92.2%, while the draw currently sits at 6.1%.

half_time summary

Darren England blows his half-time whistle as Liverpool head into the break 2-0 up courtesy of a double from Isak. It was a lightning start from the visitors, with the Swede's first coming in the sixth minute. Kerkez started the move as he won back possession on the halfway line before finding Gakpo, who played a lovely ball in behind for Isak. He then took a touch before firing the ball past Scherpen at the near post from inside the penalty area. The Ipswich goalkeeper should probably have done better, but Liverpool didn't care. And just three minutes later, Isak was celebrating his second as Gakpo played another wonderful ball through for the Liverpool number nine to run onto. Isak then twisted and turned before slipping a left-footed finish inside the near post. Scherpen made up for some lacklustre goalkeeping with several saves to deny Szoboszlai from range in what was a rampant first half from the away side. Ipswich have looked dangerous at times, though, and they could easily have pulled at least one goal back with a better quality pass in the final third.

Despite the score, Ipswich have definitely shown some encouraging signs on the front foot. This game is far from over.

Scherpen makes yet another save as Szoboszlai takes the free-kick short to Kerkez. He then fires a strange ball to the edge of the Ipswich box, which Jacquet taps down to Wirtz. The Liverpool number seven then looks to volley the ball inside Scherpen's far post, but the Ipswich goalkeeper sees it coming and makes a comfortable save.

Yet another shot from Ipswich as Lukic picks out Enciso a few yards outside the Liverpool box. The latter then takes a touch before trying his luck, but the shot is a little wild and fizzes several yards wide of Alisson's goal.

comment

The last newly promoted top-flight side to score two or more goals in their first three games in a season was Newcastle in 1984-85. Ipswich will have to do exactly that if they're to somehow take anything from this game...

comment

Ipswich continue to search for a way back into this game as Palacios picks out Davis on the left. The latter then finds Maeda, who bursts into the box before firing a tame left-footed effort straight at Alisson. Still 2-0 to Liverpool with 10 minutes left of the first half.

35'

•

comment

Remarkably, Isak has a 71% shot conversion rate in the Premier League at Portman Road, scoring five goals from seven shots. That's currently the best conversion rate by any player to have more than five shots at a stadium on record since 2003-04.

comment

ISAK HAS HIS HAT-TRICK...OR DOES HE?? Liverpool think they have a third, as Mac Allister finds Wirtz on the left. He then crosses to Isak in the middle, who finishes calmly with his right foot, but the flag is quickly raised by the linesman. It's so unfortunate for the Liverpool forward, who went a tad early as he looked to bag his first hat-trick in Liverpool red.

comment

Liverpool launch yet another effort from range as Wirtz finds Mac Allister a few yards outside the Ipswich box. The latter then takes a touch before poking a right-footed effort towards goal, but there's too much on the effort and Scherpen watches it fly safely over the bar.

comment

Once again, Fatawu is involved for Ipswich as he crosses deep from the right. The ball then finds Davis at the back post, but the Ipswich left-back can't quite keep his header down, and his effort sails over the crossbar.

comment

Ipswich have definitely shown some positive signs on the front foot, despite the scoreline. This time Fatawu flicks a long ball forward to Enciso, who breaks into the box before looking to pick out Maeda at the back post. Fortunately for Liverpool, Araujo is able to get there first and Kerkez nods the ball behind for a corner.

comment

The next goal in this one will be absolutely vital. If Ipswich get it, it's game on. But if Liverpool score...surely that'll be game over.

•

comment

Alisson just about gathers the ball from the resulting corner, which was taken by Lukic. It initially looks as though it'll fly comfortably into the hands of the Liverpool goalkeeper, but Alisson quickly drops it, only for the ball to bounce kindly back into his gloves. It's hardly convincing, but it will do for the visitors.

26'

•

comment

Ipswich try to pull one back again as Fatawu delivers a wonderfully inviting cross to the back post. Davis then manages to nod the ball back across to Emersson, who looks to fire the ball past Alisson with his left boot. Jacquet reads it well, though, and gets across to make the block.

25'

•

comment

Gakpo now has five goal involvements in his last two Premier League appearances against Ipswich (two goals, three assists). Given how the Dutchman's started here, you wouldn't back against him adding to that tally before this one's done.

23'

highlight

SCHERPEN SAVES AGAIN!! Liverpool can smell blood as they look to put this one to bed in under 25 minutes. This time it's a mix-up between Enciso and Palacios which allows Isak to free Wirtz down the left. The latter then finds Gakpo, who moves the ball onto Szoboszlai on the edge of the box. Once again, the Hungarian tries his luck from range, but Scherpen manages to palm the ball away. Still 2-0...just.

22'

•

comment

History isn't on Ipswich's side, given the hosts have never won a Premier League game when trailing by two or more goals (D3, L75). Liverpool have also won all eight previous Premier League games when going 2-0 up by the ninth minute of the game...

20'

SZOBOSZLAI GOES CLOSE!! Liverpool look to bag a third in 20 minutes as Fatawu concedes possession to Szoboszlai in his own half. The latter then takes a touch before firing a right-footed effort towards goal from the edge of the box, which Scherpen tips around the post. Szoboszlai then takes the resulting corner, but Diop rises to clear the ball with a glancing header. Another Liverpool goal will surely spell game over here...

comment

To their credit, Ipswich have responded well to Liverpool's early goals. The hosts find Fatawu down the right, who quickly shifts the ball inside to Palacios. He then finds Enciso on the edge of the Liverpool box, but his attempted pass to Emersson isn't quite right and Alisson gathers it.

•

comment

Gakpo is the third Liverpool player to assist two or more goals in the opening 10 minutes of a Premier League game, after Roberto Firmino (August 2022 v Bournemouth) and Steven Gerrard (February 2014 v Arsenal). What a first 19 minutes it's been for the Dutchman.

comment

Munoz has hit the ground running in a Liverpool shirt and looks as though he might tee Isak up for a third. The Spaniard initially picks the ball up deep in his own half before sprinting down the centre of the pitch unchallenged. Munoz then looks set to slip Isak in, but slightly overhits his final ball, and Diop recovers to snuff out the danger.

He then shifts and swivels in the box before slipping the ball inside the near post. What a goal! Ipswich 0-2 Liverpool!

Liverpool are also unbeaten in all six away Premier League matches at Portman Road (W4, D2), which is the most games they’ve played at one stadium without losing in the competition. The visitors remain winless in their last six league games (D4, L2), though, and only once before have they gone seven or more matches without winning in the competition: a run of 11 from November 2002 to January 2003 under Gerard Houllier.

comment

Meanwhile, Liverpool are still searching for their first win under new boss Andoni Iraola. The Reds salvaged a dramatic 2-2 draw at Newcastle on matchday one, before drawing by the same scoreline at home to Nottingham Forest last weekend. Still, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 20 Premier League matches against newly promoted clubs (W15, D5), although the last such team to beat them was a Bournemouth side managed by current Ipswich boss Gary O’Neil in March 2023.

•

comment

Hosts Ipswich have endured a mixed bag since returning to the top flight. A 2-1 win over Sunderland on the opening weekend was swiftly followed by a 5-2 defeat at Manchester United eight days later. Ipswich are also unbeaten in their last 18 home league games, albeit 17 of those were in the Championship last season. They’ve not won consecutive Premier League home games since a run of four in December 2001 and January 2002.
