Cody Gakpo struck twice as Liverpool secured an emphatic 4-1 victory over a struggling Ipswich side at Anfield on Saturday. Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah added their names to the scoresheet in a commanding display that strengthened Liverpool’s grip on the Premier League title race.
The Reds, now six points ahead of Arsenal with a game in hand, are closing in on their first league title since 2020 and their 20th overall, equalling Manchester United’s English record. Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool continues to thrive, balancing domestic dominance with Champions League success.
Szoboszlai opened the scoring after 11 minutes with a precise low strike, marking his fourth goal of the season. Salah followed with his 176th Premier League goal, surpassing Thierry Henry to become the league’s seventh all-time top scorer. Salah’s 19th goal of the season also pushed him ahead in the race for the Golden Boot, leaving Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak trailing.
Gakpo capitalised on Szoboszlai’s forward play, turning in a rebound before halftime for Liverpool’s third goal. In the second half, the Dutchman added his 14th goal of the campaign with a clinical header from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross, sealing a dominant performance.
For Ipswich, the Premier League remains a harsh reality following consecutive promotions. After a 6-0 loss to Manchester City last weekend, Kieran McKenna’s side was again outclassed, though Jacob Greaves salvaged a late consolation goal from Julio Enciso’s corner.
