Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola has raised the bar for the club's record signing (£125 million; approx R1596 crore) Alexander Isak, despite his brace in their 2-0 English Premier League win over Ipswich on Friday, demanding more than just goals from the Swedish striker.

"My demands with Alex is not about the goals. He has to contribute to the collective. When everyone helps each other out, the goals and the other stuff will come," said Iraola hinting at his lack of contribution off the ball.

The victory at Portsmouth Road was the Reds's first of the league season, having drawn both their previous games. New signing Bradley Barcola also made his Liverpool debut, coming on as a substitute in the 63rd minute.
