Liverpool Ipswich Town Live Premier League: Football Scores ...

Cody Gakpo scored twice and Dominic Szoboszlai and Mo Salah were also on target as Liverpool cruised to victory over Ipswich.

The only surprise was that the margin of victory did not surpass Manchester City’s 6-0 victory over Kieran McKenna’s side last week, with the Suffolk strugglers looking devoid of any confidence.

For much of the game, Liverpool’s whole side were in the Ipswich third of the field dictating play, with the visitors camped on the edge of their box.

Szoboszlai’s early fine strike from 20 yards prevented any frustration building for the home side and then Salah netted his customary goal shooting high into the net from close range. Gakpo added two poachers goals, one following up a goalkeeper save and then a header from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross for the only goal of the second half, before Jacob Greaves’ late consolation.

The win sees Liverpool retain their six-point lead, with a game in hand, at the top of the table. Ipswich’s goal difference, which has them in the bottom three behind Wolves, took another hit this afternoon.
