Liverpool striker Alexander Isak says scoring twice in Friday's win at Ipswich "lifts some weight" off his shoulders. Lats summer's £125m signing struggled with form and injuries during his first season with the Reds, but fired past Kjell Scherpen twice inside the opening nine minutes at Portman Road to take his tally to three in three at the start of this campaign. "Winning our first game of the season was very important and I'm happy to be on the scoresheet twice," Isak said.
Gary O'Neil was fully aware of the difficulty of the task at hand before kick-off as he reeled off Liverpool's array of attacking talent. The Ipswich manager will be disappointed with how easily his side conceded the opening goal, with Kjell Scherpen beaten too easily at his near post. There were encouraging flashes from Ipswich's attackers, particularly Julio Enciso and Jack Clarke after he came off the bench in the second half.
Brazilian Emersonn, who scored on his Premier League debut, offered an industrious, clever display in Ipswich's forward line. Then there was the Ecuadorian Nilson Angulo's free-kick for Sunderland, which was very special. The pace was too much even for the wingspan of the giant Kjell Scherpen in the Ipswich goal.
