Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Ipswich Town FC get us underway at Anfield.
- 5' Ibrahima Konate is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Ipswich Town FC so far.
- 10' It is a cagey affair so far. Liverpool FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Ipswich Town FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 11' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Dominik Szoboszlai makes it 1-0.
- 16' Both keepers have barely been tested. Liverpool FC and Ipswich Town FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 21' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 26' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Luis Diaz suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' The crowd applauds Wes Burns as he leaves the pitch. Ben Johnson steps in for Ipswich Town FC.
- 35' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Mohamed Salah makes it 2-0.
- 40' The energy levels are beginning to show. Arne Slot might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 44' Cody Gakpo makes no mistake. The score reads 3-0 and Liverpool FC are in front.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Conor Townsend. He replaces Leif Davis on 46 minute.
- 51' George Hirst is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Ipswich Town FC tonight.
- 56' It looks surprising Liverpool FC does not make any changes. Virgil van Dijk has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 61' A quiet spell here at Anfield. Ipswich Town FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 66' The deadlock is broken! Cody Gakpo gets on the scoresheet on 66 minutes.
- 68' Harvey Elliott is replacing Dominik Szoboszlai for the Liverpool FC side.
- 73' Ipswich Town FC have won 483 goals from 366 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 75' Liam Delap has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 75.
- 79' The Ipswich Town FC bench stirs into life. Omari Hutchinson is withdrawn and Julio Enciso gets his opportunity.
- 80' Alexis Mac Allister makes way for Jayden Danns at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Liverpool FC.
- 82' That looks like a foul for a card for Julio Enciso.
- 86' A tactical swap from Liverpool FC — Federico Chiesa on, Luis Diaz off on 86 minutes.
- 90' The deadlock is broken! Jacob Greaves gets on the scoresheet on 90 minutes.
- 4-1 the final result. Ipswich Town FC will be bitterly disappointed.
