Ipswich Town 0-2 Liverpool - Match Report
Sat Aug 17th 14:29
Two goals in five minutes just after the hour mark saw Liverpool win 2-0 at Portman Road to spoil Town’s return to the Premier League after a 22-year absence. After the Blues had more than held their own in the first half, Diogo Jota opened the scoring on 60, then Mo Salah, who had created the first, added the second five minutes later with the result never in doubt from there.

Fri 16th Aug 2024
