Liverpool beat Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Friday night

Alexander Isak's two early goals set Liverpool on the way to their first Premier League win of the season – and a first for new manager Andoni Iraola – at Ipswich Town.

Here's how I rated the players and you can see how you scored them below.

Isak double earns Iraola first Liverpool win

Kjell Scherpen: Desperately poor for Alexander Isak's early goal. Weak and meant Ipswich got off to the worst possible start. A couple of decent saves but the damage was done. 4

Dara O'Shea: Led from the front as always but Ipswich's defence struggled against the movement of Isak and the creation of Gakpo. He had a hard time. 5

Issa Diop: Towering figure always willing to indulge in the physical changes but this was a tough night after those two early Liverpool goals. 6

Jacob Greaves: Stern test against the inspired Cody Gakpo, showing the quality he will face in the Premier League. 5

Leif Davis: Tested defensively but was always competitive. Lent weight to attacks and had a chance with a far post header. 6

Sasa Lukic: Will bring experience to Ipswich Town but on this night Liverpool's midfield was too powerful. 5

Exequiel Palacios: Tried to bring some composure to Ipswich Town's game but was fighting a losing battle. 6

Abdul Fatawu: Pace but little end product. Energetic but erratic. 5

Julio Enciso: Ipswich's main threat. Tireless. Might have done more with the final ball but never gave up even when odds were against him. 7

Daizen Maeda: Anonymous. Made no impact at all and no surprise when taken off. 5

Emersonn: Battled hard but no luck against Van Dijk and Jacquet. 5
