Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola says forward Alexander Isak will “produce the numbers” this season, citing the impact of his performance in a 2-0 win at Ipswich. According to reports, Isak scored a brace inside nine minutes, setting the tone early and helping Liverpool secure the victory.
The match also brings attention to Liverpool’s summer attacking choices. Outlets note that Bradley Barcola was expected to feature prominently, but he is named as being on the bench during the game. Instead, Isak’s quick goals are presented as a response to questions around how the new forward would integrate, following his £125 million move from Newcastle last summer.
