Aston Villa 1 - 1 Ipswich Town Ipswich Town produced a gutsy performance to claim a valuable Premier League point at Villa Park, despite playing almost an hour with 10 men. Author - Marcus Stadium - Villa Park The match had been uneventful until Axel Tuanzebe, facing his former club, brought down Jacob Ramsey on the edge of the area, picking up a second yellow card and leaving Ipswich with an uphill task. Up to that point, the visitors had defended resolutely, and they continued to frustrate Villa even with a numerical disadvantage. Against the run of play, Ipswich took a shock lead when Liam Delap beat Axel Disasi to Omari Hutchinson’s low cross, steering the ball into the far corner to silence the home crowd. As frustration grew among the Villa supporters, Ollie Watkins eventually levelled, reacting quickest after Marcus Rashford’s thunderous free-kick crashed against the crossbar. Villa pushed hard for a winner, with Marco Asensio missing a golden chance before forcing Alex Palm...

Coventry City 1 - 4 Ipswich Town Ipswich Town cruised into the FA Cup fifth round with a dominant display, easing past Frank Lampard’s Coventry City. Author - Marcus Stadium - The Coventry Building Society Arena Boss Kieran McKenna opted for a completely rotated XI against their Championship opponents, but the Tractor Boys’ second-string side showed no signs of disruption as they secured a convincing victory. They got off to the perfect start, winning a penalty just 22 seconds in, which George Hirst calmly dispatched. Coventry responded quickly through Joel Latibeaudiere, but Ipswich soon regained control. Jack Clarke struck twice before half-time, and January signing Jaden Philogene, formerly of Aston Villa, netted his first goal for the club to put the tie beyond doubt. That result sees Ipswich, FA Cup winners in 1978, reach the fifth round for the first time since 2007—knocking out last season’s semi-finalists in the process. A closer look at what happened Ipswich fans celebra...

Ipswich Town 2 - 0 Chelsea Liam Delap's standout performance inspired Ipswich Town to their first home victory of the season, dealing a blow to Chelsea’s dwindling Premier League title ambitions.

[image or embed] — European Super Football ( @superfootball.bsky.social ) 31 December 2024 at 15:10 The 21-year-old striker opened the scoring in the 12th minute, confidently converting a penalty he earned after VAR determined goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen had made sufficient contact as Delap weaved past him. Just eight minutes into the second half, Delap turned provider, seizing on Axel Disasi's wayward back pass to set up ex-Chelsea winger Omari Hutchinson for Ipswich's second goal. Despite dominating possession, Chelsea were wasteful in front of goal, with Joao Felix’s would-be first-half equaliser ruled out by VAR after a lengthy offside check. I...

Ipswich Town 0 - 1 Crystal Palace Jean-Philippe Mateta delivered a touch of class to seal Crystal Palace’s first Premier League away win of the season, edging past Ipswich Town 1-0 at Portman Road. Author - Marcus With both teams starting level on nine points near the foot of the table, the match promised to be a closely contested affair. However, it was the Eagles who conjured up the decisive moment of brilliance in the 59th minute. Mateta’s goal was a showcase of individual quality. The Palace forward initiated the move with a clever flick-on in his own half before embarking on a determined run. Skipping past Ipswich defender Jacob Greaves, Mateta coolly chipped the ball over Arijanet Muric to put his side ahead. Ipswich Town: Back in the big league Premier League: 2024/2025 season The first half had been largely uninspiring, with few clear chances for either side. Palace's standout moment provided a spark in what had been a scrappy encounter. Mateta nearly doubled the l...

How's life been for Ipswich Town since their return to the Premier League? After earning promotion under manager Kieran McKenna, expectations were cautiously optimistic; the Tractor Boys aimed to retain their top-flight status and solidify their position among England's elite. Author - Marcus Closer look at their match v Spurs. They put in a brilliant display to claim their first Premier League win of the season with a 2-1 victory. Goals from Sam Szmodics and Liam Delap in the first half set Town on course, and they held their ground admirably in the second half to secure three valuable points, showing strength in both attack and defence. Axel Tuanzebe’s return from a thumb injury provided a welcome boost, as he took his place on the right of a backline that included Dara O’Shea, Cameron Burgess, and Leif Davis, with Aro Muric between the posts. Captain Sam Morsy anchored the midfield alongside Jens Cajuste, with Ben Johnson operating on the right. Omari Hutchinson and Szm...
