Story summary

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola finally secured his first win with the team on Friday, beating Ipswich Town 2-0 in the Premier League. The victory was thanks in large part to goals from Alexander Isak, who scored twice in the opening minutes of the game, and made it seem easy for Liverpool to secure their first win under Iraola's management. Bradley Barcola made his debut for Liverpool as a 64th-minute substitute, joining the team from Paris Saint-Germain for a record £123million deal.

Isak's goals came courtesy of assists from Cody Gakpo, who continued to impress despite interest from Manchester City and Tottenham. Gakpo set up Isak with a perfect pass on the right side of the box, allowing him to score his first goal in the 6th minute. Just three minutes later, Gakpo assisted again, this time using the outside edge of his boot to bend a long forward pass behind the defense and meet Isak's run.

Iraola was pleased with Barcola's performance, saying that he "had good minutes" and showed a "very good pass". However, Iraola also acknowledged that Barcola hasn't played any competitive minutes since the World Cup, so they need to be careful not to put too much pressure on him.

🔮 The Mexican was fighting for the first time in over a year since his stunning defeat by Terence Crawford in Las Vegas, Nevada, as ‘Bud’ jumped up the weight divisions to cause an almighty upset in the super-middleweight division.
🔮 Questions had been asked about Sage’s long-term future at Palace, and his position will be in further doubt after a sixth league defeat in nine, and just two victories coming from his the opening Premier League matches of his tenure.
🔮 Buoyed by only a second triumph at Chelsea in 36 years last weekend, Spurs’ task was made more routine by a 13th-minute red card for Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta for a studs-up tackle on Micky van de Ven. VAR intervened to assist referee Michael Oliver and it was largely one-way traffic after with Archie Gray able to open the scoring with a header after 25 minutes. Roberto De Zerbi’s team started the second half impressively and eventually doubled their lead with 17 minutes left through former Brighton centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke. It allowed De Zerbi to hand a league debut to Spurs’ teenager Luca Williams-Barnett on an enjoyable night for the north London club, but this latest defeat will increase the scrutiny on under-fire Palace boss Pierre Sage. More to follow.
🔮 Now, however, it appears that he will be retained in-post for the club’s next two matches, up to the November international break.
🔮 The stretch of poor results has plunged Carrick’s future as United head coach into serious question, with the former midfielder expected to be relieved of his duties following heavy 4-1 and 3-0 losses to both Como and Bournemouth respectively last week.
🔮 While that may work in the short-term as a caretaker or when managing sides like Cardiff or Middlesbrough, that approach will quickly get found out when trying to implement it at the very highest level. What he has not shown at all in his tenure is any kind of tactical flexibility.

🔮 BBC Sport reports that the Magpies would still be entitled to compensation should the Englishman take a new job within a certain amount of a time, as a result of a clause in his contract at St James’ Park.
🔮 Instead, ‘The Nuke’ will be taking on highly-rated semi-professionals as well as some of the sport’s up and coming talents.
