Liverpool cruise to 4-1 win over Ipswich Town in PL clash

Arne Slot and Co.'s impressive season showed no signs of stopping as they cruised to a dominant 4-1 win against Ipswich Town. Liverpool remain at the top of the Premier League table with 53 points from 22 games, six points above Arsenal, with a game in hand.

Dominik Szoboszlai found the bottom-right corner with an excellent shot from 20 yards out to break the deadlock (11'). Mohamed Salah smashed the ball into the roof of the net in the 35th minute from a tight angle following Cody Gakpo's sensational cross to double their advantage.

Gakpo tapped home from close range (44') to give Liverpool a 3-0 lead going into half-time. The Dutchman then emphatically headed home Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross to complete his brace in the 66th minute. Jacob Greaves headed past Alisson in the 90th minute to net a consolation goal but couldn't prevent the Reds from sealing all three points.

The Reds next face PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League (Wednesday, January 29).
