Liverpool thrash Ipswich Town and maintain six-point lead at the top of the Premier League
Gakpo (twice), Salah and Szoboszlai score for the home side; Greaves pulls one back
Liverpool maintain lead at the top
In training mode, Liverpool did not make an effort to run over Ipswich Town. In a duel valid for the 23rd round of the Premier League, Arne Slot’s team thrashed Ipswich Town 4-1. Gakpo (twice), Szoboszlai and Salah scored the goals.
The Premier League leaders didn’t need much effort to completely control the game in the first half. They opened the scoring early on through Szoboszlai and managed a good lead late in the half after goals from Salah and Gakpo. A well-deserved advantage for a team that had 72% possession and a 10-0 shot on goal.
In the final stage, even at a slower pace, Liverpool soon scored the fourth goal, again with Gakpo. After that, Arne Slot began to make several substitutions, and the visitors scored the equalizer at the end of the game, with a beautiful header from Greaves after a corner kick very well taken by the debutant Enciso.
Table
Now with 53 points, leaders Liverpool remain six points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, who won this round. Ipswich Town’s situation also remained the same and they remain in 18th place, opening up the relegation zone.
