40 mins: Philogene has a first opportunity of the game to attack and tries to slip through Delap, who goes down in the box after Konate comes across.

Appeals for an Ipswich penalty mainly come from the away end, with Delap himself hardly looking convinced.

The referee waves play on.

13 mins: Liverpool haven’t taken long to get going here, and they could’ve had another seconds after the restart.

Salah latches onto an over-the-top ball and looks to be winning the tussle with the Ipswich man by his side, but the Egyptian can’t get a meaningful effort away after cutting back.

GOAL!

From there, the Hungarian drops the shoulder and firmly plants his left-footed effort into the bottom corner.

That was the early goal that Ipswich would have feared.
