Alexander Isak was delighted to see Liverpool put their pre-match plans into practice during Friday’s 2-0 win over Ipswich Town.
The striker scored twice inside the opening nine minutes at Portman Road to secure Andoni Iraola’s first victory as Liverpool boss.
Alexander Isak told Sky Sports post-match: “Obviously we were waiting for the first win and we were talking about starting the game good, which we haven’t done recently. That was perfect for us to get two quick goals.
“I think we’re starting to get the way that we want to play and be offensive and attack the defence. I think we showed that today. We scored two and we could have scored more.”
Cody Gakpo provided both assists, having also set up Isak’s goal against Nottingham Forest last weekend.
“We were talking about when we win the ball to get forward as quickly as possible because that’s when things are quite open,” Isak continued.
“Obviously Cody found me twice pretty good. He’s done amazingly [in] assisting and finding me in those situations and in good positions where I enjoy having the ball.”
The Sweden international now has three goals in three appearances this season. However, rather than setting personal targets, Isak is focused on Liverpool’s next challenge.
He said: “It’s still early. I think we still have a lot to learn and it’s game by game at this point.”
