Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has publicly praised teammate Alexis Mac Allister after the club’s 2-0 Premier League victory over Ipswich Town on Friday night.
The Merseyside giants made the trip to Portman Road looking to bounce back after a difficult opening to their league season.
Liverpool had failed to beat Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest in their first two matches, making the win over newly promoted Ipswich a significant result.
Alexander Isak was the standout performer on the night, scoring a quick-fire brace inside the opening 10 minutes to put the game to bed early.
Cody Gakpo played a key creative role, providing the assists for both of Isak’s goals to underline his bright start to the campaign.
Mac Allister produced a much-improved midfield display against the Tractor Boys, earning individual recognition from those inside the camp following the result.
Manager Andoni Iraola personally highlighted Mac Allister’s contribution, stating that the Argentine midfielder played “very well” during the comfortable victory at Portman Road.
Szoboszlai also took to social media to single out Mac Allister for praise, describing him in glowing terms that underlined the strong relationship within Liverpool’s midfield unit.
Following the final whistle, Mac Allister wrote on Instagram that it was an important three points on the road and expressed excitement about welcoming fans to Anfield for the Champions League opener.
The win will provide Liverpool with a significant boost in confidence as they look to build momentum across multiple competitions in the weeks ahead.
The result demonstrated the attacking quality available to the club, with Gakpo and Isak combining to devastating effect against a side adjusting to life in the top flight.
Mac Allister’s improved showing will be particularly encouraging for the coaching staff, suggesting the midfielder is finding his best form at a crucial point in the season.
