Kjell Scherpen was desperately poor for Alexander Isak's early goal, weak and meant Ipswich got off to the worst possible start. A couple of decent saves but the damage was done. 4

Dara O'Shea led from the front as always but Ipswich's defence struggled against the movement of Isak and the creation of Gakpo. Issa Diop was a towering figure always willing to indulge in the physical changes but this was a tough night after those two early Liverpool goals. Jacob Greaves faced a stern test against the inspired Cody Gakpo, showing the quality he will face in the Premier League.

Alexander Isak showed the best of himself at last, running behind a defence with pace and clever movement with cool finishes. Finally showed why Liverpool bought him. 8. Cody Gakpo could have been playing for Manchester City. How glad Liverpool are he wasn't. Two superb passes for Isak's opening goals, truly outstanding performance. 9.

Alisson was lucky to get away with misjudging a first-half corner. Ronald Araujo was strong in the air and on the ground on an impressive Premier League debut at right-back. Virgil van Dijk was his usual unruffled self in the face of some frantic Ipswich Town attacking.
