An Alexander Isak brace for Liverpool against Ipswich Town guided the Reds to a 2-0 win in a Premier League match on Friday, September 4. It was the Reds’ first win of the season, and they now have five points from three matches. The Alexander Isak brace was completed within the first 10 minutes of the match, and the result gave Andoni Iraola much relief after his side had to salvage draws in each of their first two matches.
The good sign for Liverpool is that they have scored two goals in each of their three matches so far this season, and the Alexander Isak brace puts the Swedish striker on three goals from three games.
Alexander Isak Brace: An Amazing Start To The Season For The Swedish Striker
The Alexander Isak brace took his season’s tally of goals to three in as many matches, and he is only one goal away from reaching his tally from last season, as he scored four goals in 22 matches. The Swede, who will turn 27 this month, has scored 69 goals in 134 matches so far during his stay in England as a player. Isak’s signing by Liverpool from Newcastle was a record transfer, and the Swede is yet to justify that huge price tag. However, as the Alexander Isak brace on Friday suggests, he is slowly getting back to his best as a striker.
Isak played for Real Sociedad before coming to Newcastle and scored 44 goals for the Spanish club. Thus, he already has 114 goals in his senior club career. The Swedish striker helped Newcastle reach the UEFA Champions League and also win the Carabao Cup during the 2024/25 season.
Thus, the Liverpool supporters pinned a lot of hope on the Swede. The Reds went without a trophy last season and will be desperate to set the record straight this time around. However, to win silverware, they will need Isak to be at the top of his game.

Liverpool’s Tough Schedule
Liverpool will take on Tottenham Hotspur in their first UEFA Champions League match of the season on Wednesday, September 9. They will then face Fulham in the Premier League and Spurs again in the Third Round of the Carabao Cup. The Reds will thus start facing quality opposition from this point onwards. Hence, they need their top players to start hitting good form now. Florian Wirtz’s form has not been that great, as the German playmaker has a lone assist to show for in the three matches so far.
However, Iraola will be happy to see Isak’s form. The Alexander Isak brace was his first match-winning performance in a Liverpool shirt, and one will hope that it is the first of many to come. Liverpool have spent more than £120 million to get Isak and will hope that they will start getting the return on their investment this season. The Reds are in the race to win the Premier League alongside the other big teams in the league, but cannot afford any early slip-ups. Isak should keep contributing to his team’s cause by scoring as many goals as possible, and he should also be in the race to win the Premier League Golden Boot this season.
