Alexander Isak finally hit top form for Liverpool, scoring two cool goals after clever movement, with Cody Gakpo providing two assists for Isak’s opener and earning a standout 9. Isak himself was rated 8 and led a generally solid performance from a Liverpool side, with Araujo and van Dijk reliable at the back and Szoboszlai driving attacks. Mac Allister and Wirtz were less impactful, Barcola offered pace off the bench, and Gravenberch plus Nyoni were used late to manage Ipswich’s revival.
