Andoni Iraola praises lethal Alexander Isak as quickfire brace secures crucial first Liverpool win

Andoni Iraola has hailed the impact of Alexander Isak after the Swedish striker’s clinical first-half double guided Liverpool to a 2-0 victory against Ipswich Town. The win marks Iraola’s first three points since taking the reins at Anfield, moving the club past a stuttering start to the new Premier League campaign.

Isak was the undisputed star of the show at Portman Road, netting twice within the first ten minutes to put the game out of reach for the hosts. Speaking after the final whistle, Iraola was quick to praise the Swedish international, who arrived at Anfield for a British-record £125 million fee from Newcastle United. The striker’s clinical finishing demonstrated why the club were so determined to bring him to Merseyside, and his manager believes there is much more to come if he stays healthy.
