Ipswich v Liverpool LIVE: Premier League score and latest updates as Alexander Isak double fires Reds into lead

33 mins: Van Dijk lands awkwardly under a challenge and there’s an unofficial pause in the game until his gets back on his feet.

It’s unofficial as Alisson has possession and no Ipswich player challenges him.

When play resumes Liverpool feed the ball up to Florian Wirtz who fires a low pass into the box.

Isak is there to finish off the move but he’s strayed offside!

30 mins: Sasha Lukic takes the corner and whips a cross into the middle.

Alisson totally misreads the flight and misses his punch. Luckily the ball bounces off Gakpo and back into Alisson’s path so there’s no harm done.

The Liverpool goalkeeper has looked a bit shaky tonight. A far cry from his usually composed self.

27 mins: Fatawu brings the ball down the right side and floats a cross over to the opposite side of the box.

Davis knocks it down to Emersonn who controls and shoots but Jacquest is well positioned to block the effort and deflect the ball out for a corner.

24 mins: Gakpo is jeered after a misplaced switch of play sends the ball out for an Ipswich throw in.

Considering he was rumoured to be close to leaving Liverpool at the beginning of the week, two assists and a commanding performance prove his worth to the Reds.

Szoboszlai has another attempt from the edge of the box but can’t beat Scherpen.

21 mins: Szoboszlai lets fly on a shot from range but it’s ably kept out by Scherpen.

Liverpool are ticking and they’re growing in creativity with each minute that goes by.

15 mins: Is this the night that Liverpool finally turn up?

They’ve already got a commanding lead and are now playing with confidence after chasing in both of their previous Premier League games this season.

Can Ipswich find a way back into the match?

12 mins: Fatawu attempts to get Ipswich back in the game with a cruling effort from the right side.

The ball lands in Alisson’s hands and he launches it up the pitch.

Ipswich recover the ball and slot it to Julio Encisco. He looks to shoot before finding Greaves who is offside.

What a confidence boost this should be for the Swede.

Two goals for Isak and two assists for Cody Gakpo. One lovely intricate pass and finish before an outside-of-the-boot thread into Isak to sweep home with his left foot.

Ipswich keeper Kjell Scherpen will not particularly want to see either of those goals again, mind, especially the first one, which he should have saved.

We’ve barely had time to breathe and Liverpool have doubled their lead.

It’s the same combination too.

Gakpo is given the ball by Virgil van Dijk and stays out wide this time before slotting another fine pass through to Isak.

Isak weaves into the box and this time guides a left-footed shot into the back of the net!

In no time, Liverpool have gotten themselves into the lead.

The ball is fed over to Cody Gakpo on the left wing and he skips past a defender on his way inside.

A perfectly weighted pass picks out Alexander Isak who darts into the box and smashes a shot through the goalkeeper and into the back of the net!
