Liverpool maintained the six -point lead at the top of the Premier League with a simple Ipswich victory this afternoon.
Visitors have now given 10 goals in two games after their 6-0 defeat to Manchester City last week and, in fact, were desperately outdated at Anfield, as Arne Slot’s men traveled to victory without getting out of the second speed .
Cody Gakpo continued his nice season with a support, with Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah also on the goal.
Jacob Greaves pulled a back slowly, but the 18th placed tractors remain deep in relegation problems.

Szoboszlai puts red in front
Ipswich was holding his own in a low -key opening until Szoboszlai broke the deadlock from the first serious opportunity for each side after 11 minutes.
Hungary’s captain played by Ibrahima Konate, passed a challenge and shot in a Low shot in the lower right corner.
It was very easy from Ipswich’s perspective with Szoboszlai to find too much space to work.
Kieran McKenna made five changes after defeating the city, but one of the incoming, Wes Burns, lasted just 26 minutes before going down with what seemed seriously injury.
International Wales left a stretcher and in the afternoon of Ipswich took another turn for the worst when Salah doubled Liverpool’s advantage nine minutes later.
Gakpo was the creator with a cross from the left, and Salah did the rest, checking the ball shortly before going from Christian Walton from a tight corner for the 100th Premier League target in Anfield.
It was 3-0 before halftime with Ipswich who offered no resistance.
Ryan Gravenberch hit a dangerous ball from the right that Szoboszlai turned the target. Walton made a good savings, but Gakpo was on alert to go back to the recovery.
Very easy for Liverpool
The second semester was a walk for the homeland with the game as good as on the break.
The tension fell, though Liverpool remained well on top.
The fourth goal came after 66 minutes with Gakpo again on the target. Trent Alexander-Arnold ran to a brand cross and the Dutchman took in front of his index to go beyond Walton.

Alexander-Arnold almost got into practice, but his 25-meter effort shone beyond Orth with Walton Beaten, before coming even closer four minutes later with a shot that bounced behind the right.
Alisson eventually called for serious action after 84 minutes with a smart attitude to deny George Hirst, but the Brazilian international was hit in the last minute, Greaves shaking Julio Encisco’s Corner’s debut on the net.
