Crystal Palace secured their second league win of the season by beating Ipswich 1-0 and you can watch the highlights below.
Eagles Prove Too Strong For Tractor Boys
The match got off to a cagey start with both sides knowing how crucial a win would be to maintain their Premier League status at the end of the year.
Crystal Palace, who looked to be full of confidence after a late equaliser against Newcastle last time out made the better start.
Oliver Glasner’s side were a threat from set-pieces, with Dara O’Shea almost putting the ball into his own net from a wicked Palace free kick.
The visitors came close from a set piece once again as Trevor Chalobah headed the ball over the bar from just six yards out.
It was Palace who were getting the better chances as Eberechi Eze’s shot was well-saved by Arijanet Muric in the Ipswich goal.
Ipswich did trouble Dean Henderson just before the break, as Liam Delap’s header looked to be flying into the top corner but was kept out by the Palace keeper.
Delap came close just minutes into the second half as Henderson saved another header from the Ipswich Town talisman.
Palace broke the deadlock 15 minutes into the second 45, as Jean-Philippe Mateta skipped past Jacob Greaves and dinked the ball beautifully over Muric.
Eight minutes later the Crystal Palace striker came close to scoring his second of the match as the Frenchman’s effort produced a miraculous save from Muric.
Ipswich, who were underdogs on UK betting sites going into the match, failed to find any momentum after going behind and Crystal Palace were in cruise control.
However, the Tractor Boys were inches away from finding an equaliser after Greaves’ header struck the post from a clever set-piece routine.
This was Ipswich Town’s last chance of the match and Crystal Palace held on to secure their second Premier League win of the season.
