Liverpool punctured Ipswich Town's hopes of major Premier League upset as Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo both scored at Portman Road to win 2-0. The evening had begun with a raucous atmosphere but the home crowd was silenced in the first ten minutes as Liverpool flew out of the traps. A brace for Isak -- with both goals set-up by an inspired Gakpo -- ensured that memories of Liverpool's slack starts in their opening two matches were put to one side.

A record home crowd of 5,402 saw glimpses of Putellas' incredible ability, rather than a virtuoso performance.
