Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town in the third round of the 2026/27 Premier League season, thanks to two goals from Swedish star Isak. Isak stated that the team is gradually finding its rhythm and believes the Reds can score more goals in this match.
In the 6th minute, Gakpo played a through ball into the penalty area, where Isak controlled the ball, took a few steps, and then slotted it home, giving Liverpool a dream start of 1-0. In the 9th minute, Gakpo played a diagonal pass to Isak, who broke through the defense in the penalty area and fired a low shot into the net, extending Liverpool's lead to 2-0.
Liverpool ultimately defeated Ipswich Town 2-0, marking manager Andoni Iraola's first Premier League victory since taking charge of the club.
Liverpool striker Isak said in an interview: "We've been waiting for our first win of the season, and we've been discussing it before the game, trying to get off to a good start because we haven't done that in the last few games. To be able to score two goals so quickly is just perfect for us."
“We gradually found the way we wanted to play, to attack more proactively and to push the opponent’s defense more aggressively, and I think we showed that in this game. We scored two goals, and we could have created even more chances.”
Speaking about his teammate Gakpo's assist, Isak shared, "We discussed before the game that once we regained possession, we should attack forward as quickly as possible, because there is usually a lot of space on the field at that time. Obviously, Gakpo found me very well both times."
“He did an excellent job of providing assists and getting the ball to my feet, and he always found me in the right positions so that I could receive the ball in my preferred spots.”
In addition, the new season of the UEFA Champions League will kick off with its first round of matches, and Liverpool will host Atletico Madrid at Anfield Stadium.
Isak also said, "It's still early in the season, and I think we have a lot to learn. The most important thing right now is to play well game by game."
