00:00Full time here at Anfield, a comfortable victory as Liverpool could have hoped for a 4-1 win over Ipswich Town.
00:09That's what supporters who headed to Anfield were hoping for today against a team who were threatened with relegation
00:16and that's the result from the outset. Liverpool were dominant and they deserved the victory thoroughly.
00:22Tucked the lead in the 11th minute through Dominic Subboslai, a really well worked goal for Liverpool.
00:27Ibekumi Kanata with a nice pass in and Subboslai creates himself a yard of space and fires a left foot shot into the bottom corner.
00:36Liverpool continued in the ascendancy, it was Mo Salah notching his 100th Premier League goal at Anfield.
00:43Cody Gakpo putting in a cross into the back post, Salah, great touchdown, fires into the roof of the net
00:49and it was 3-0 before half-time, game over, Gakpo getting on the score sheet after his assist.
00:55It was another well worked move, Ryan Gravenberg finds Dominic Subboslai in the box.
01:01Subboslai was denied his second goal, he was denied by Ipswich keeper Christian Walton
01:06but there was Gakpo, right place, right time at the follow-up to put into the unguarded net.
01:15Second half, Liverpool came out and they were just as dominant.
01:18They had to be a little bit patient but in the 65th minute, the fourth arrived, a great cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold
01:25right on a play for Cody Gakpo to head home.
01:29Nearly had a fifth, Trent Alexander-Arnold hitting the crossbar after being picked out by Mo Salah.
01:34The only disappointment was the goal that you can see at the end, Jacob Greaves, a header from a corner.
01:42That was probably frustrating that Liverpool couldn't hold on for the clean sheet
01:48but it was job done, still six points clear at the top.
01:53A little bit frustrated Arsenal ended up going and winning at Wolves I'm sure
01:57but another step closer to the Premier League title.
02:00After 22 games, Liverpool are in full command.
02:07You can't see a slip-up at the minute.
02:09Slot was afforded to take some of his big hitters off midway through the second half,
02:12the likes of Gravenberch, Gakpo coming off.
02:15They have a free hit on Wednesday, a nothing game for Liverpool.
02:21They're already into the last 16 of the Champions League, they go to PSV Eindhoven
02:26so you would think that Arnold Slot is going to rotate to squad the Kings
02:30and then he can rest players ahead of a massive game at AFC Bournemouth next Sunday.
02:36Thrashing nothing for us Tuesday in the table, 5-0 today
02:41so that's going to be a really difficult away game for Liverpool
02:45but it looks like they've got a week to rest up.
02:49They can make changes in the Champions League
02:52but a really comfortable win for Liverpool today and Liverpool 4-1 Ipswich.
