During Liverpool’s recent 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town on September 4, 2026, a stat presented by Sky Sports raised eyebrows among viewers, suggesting the team had won all 22 matches after going 2-0 up away from home since December 2016. However, this claim appears either inaccurate or misleading.

Alexander Isak scored both goals for the Reds, showcasing their strong performance. Yet, the assertion falters when considering two notable matches:

• Chelsea vs. Liverpool, 2022: Liverpool led 2-0 but ended the match in a 2-2 draw.
• Leeds United vs. Liverpool, last season: Liverpool was 2-0 up but finished the game 3-3.

These examples suggest the statistic may have intended to reflect matches where Liverpool was 2-0 up at halftime, but the graphic did not clarify this distinction. Consequently, while the team's record is impressive, it does not accurately reflect the situation as presented.

More significantly for Liverpool, this match marked their first competitive win under new manager Andoni Iraola, following two draws in the season opener against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. The performance against Ipswich indicated improvement, particularly with Isak finding form after a challenging previous season. Despite the win, there remain areas for growth, with tougher challenges ahead as Iraola aims to build on his successful tenure at Bournemouth.
