Ipswich Town 2-1 Fulham: result and report

Report

Ipswich Town beat Fulham 2-1 with two goals in the closing minutes. They did not control this game, though. Fulham led for more than half an hour and created the better chances, so Ipswich Town had to snatch the win late rather than build it.

The game was goalless until Ryan Sessegnon put Fulham ahead on 55 minutes. Despite trailing for so long, Ipswich Town found an equaliser on 88 minutes through Abdoul Ouattara. In the first minute of added time, Dara O'Shea scored the winner. Jack Clarke, who started on the bench, set it up.

That made it a comeback within three minutes, while Fulham went from leading to losing almost before the final whistle.

Fulham's missed chances

The chance quality leaned Fulham's way, even though the scoreline did not. Fulham finished with 1.39 xG to Ipswich Town's 1.22. They created three big chances to two and missed all three, while Ipswich Town missed only one of theirs. Shots on target were level at five each.

Ipswich Town still had a case of their own, because they pushed further into dangerous areas. They had 58 dangerous attacks to Fulham's 48 and hit the woodwork once. They also kept up more attacking pressure on average across the match. That fits a side that kept coming forward and was rewarded at the very end.
