Crystal Palace FC 1 - 0 Ipswich Town FC
Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town
17:01Crystal Palace make it three wins on the bounce in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Ipswich in an entertaining game with plenty of action at both ends. It’s a bitter blow for Ipswich, who played well and had several chances to score, but couldn’t find the breakthrough and Palace eventually got their reward through Sarr on 82 minutes. Despite opportunities for both in the first half, it was goalless at the break, but Eze almost broke the deadlock straight after the restart, but his deflected strike hit the post. Delap and Philogene then both went close for Ipswich, with the latter having his close range strike cleared off the line following a corner, before Johnson headed wide from another opportunity. Palace also had several chances as Sarr and Munoz forced Palmer into some fine saves, but the Ipswich keeper was eventually beaten late on by Sarr, who produced a lovely chip to find the back of the net. Palace have now won nine out of their last 11 games in all competitions and today’s result moves them up to 11th in the table. Meanwhile Ipswich remain without a win in 2025 and are still five points adrift in 18th position. That’s all from us today, we hope you enjoyed the game!

16:28CLOSE! Palace whip a corner into the box from the right and it's a lovely delivery, with Sarr rising highest and trying to glance the ball into the far corner of the net. However, he doesn't quite get enough on it and the ball flies inches wide of the post.

Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town
16:05The second half is under way!
Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town
15:57Palace ended the half on top, but were struggling to break Ipswich down as we approached half-time as the visitors looked resolute in defence. As it stands Palace have a xG of 1.24, compared to xG 0.23 for the visitors, so the home side will be keen to find the opener after the restart.
Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town
15:55It’s all level at the break between Crystal Palace and Ipswich, but it’s been an entertaining opening half, with both sides having clear-cut chances to open the scoring. Palace should have scored after just two minutes when Wharton beautifully played Nketiah through on goal, but Palmer pulled off a great save to deny the striker. The visitors then went straight up the other end and Philogene almost found the back of the net with his strike, but Henderson was equal to it to keep them at bay. The chances get on coming as Eze went close but Greaves got back in the nick of time to make a superb challenge and make the block, before Enciso forced Henderson into making another great stop at the other end. Greaves could count himself a bit lucky to still be on the pitch after his yellow card for a pull on Sarr as he looked to break through on goal, but VAR adjudged that he didn’t deny a clear goalscoring opportunity and therefore it remains 11 v 11. The pace dropped as we approached the break, with Palace seeing more of the ball, but Ipswich were holding firm at the back.
