IPSWICH, England -- Ipswich Town fans have waited 22 years for a day like this at Portman Road but they were given a brutal reminder of the task ahead on their return to the Premier League as Arne Slot's Liverpool won 2-0 in the first match of the post-Jurgen Klopp era.

For 60 minutes Ipswich went toe-to-toe with Liverpool, scrapping for every ball and mustering the two best chances. All of that with a starting XI that included seven players who played for them when they were promoted from League 1, the third tier of English football, just over a year ago.
