Ipswich started strong, taking the lead just four minutes in thanks to a mistake from Andre Onana and Dorgu, allowing Jaden Philogene to roll the ball into an open net. United responded with a header from Harry Maguire that forced a good save from Palmer. United benefited from an own goal when Sam Morsy deflected Bruno Fernandes’ free-kick into his own net. Fernandes was at the heart of things again moments later, with a set-piece that led to Matthijs de Ligt scoring after some good work by Maguire and Diogo Dalot. United had more moments, but Dorgu’s reckless tackle on Omari Hutchinson earned him a red card, and just before halftime, a cross from Philogene found the bottom left corner to level the score just before the break.
