Ipswich Town, who finished runners-up in the Championship last season with 75 points, secured a headline-grabbing victory on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
What happened?
The Tractor Boys beat Sunderland 2-1 at Portman Road, with substitute Jack Clarke scoring an 90th-minute winner against his former club. Ipswich had taken a first-half lead when Julio Enciso superbly set-up fellow summer signing Emerson for a simple tap-in, only for Sunderland to level when a curling Nilson Angulo free-kick went in via the crossbar.
Why it matters for Ipswich Town
This win is crucial for Ipswich Town as they look to make a successful return to the top-flight, and with currently sidelined players like Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, Azor Matusiwa, and Florentino Luís, the team needs to find a way to win enough games to stay competitive.
What comes next?
Ipswich Town will look to build on this momentum as they face their next challenge in the Premier League, with the team currently 11 points behind leaders Coventry and having scored 71 goals this season with a +29 goal difference.
