Liverpool secured their first Premier League victory of the 2024-25 season with a 2-0 win over newly promoted Ipswich Town. Alexander Isak scored both goals, marking his first double for the club, while new manager Andoni Iraola claimed his first win in charge. The match took place at Portman Road, where Liverpool dominated proceedings from the outset. Isak opened the scoring in the ninth minute, and he added a second just before halftime, sealing the victory. The win came just days after Gakpo inspired the team with a key contribution, though he was not on the scoresheet.
The result ended a frustrating start to the season for Liverpool, who had yet to secure a win in the league. Iraola, who took over after Arne Slot was sacked, praised his players’ performance and hinted at potential transfers in the January window. Meanwhile, new signing Bradley Barcola made his debut but struggled to find his rhythm, with former player Jamie Carragher suggesting he may face competition for a starting spot. The win provides a much-needed boost for the Reds as they look to build on their momentum.
