In the end, Wolves’ persistence, calmness, and clinical finishing proved too much for Ipswich. The away side showed why they are where they are in the table, fighting back after going behind and executing their chances when they mattered most. Ipswich, on the other hand, will be left wondering how they let a game that seemed in their grasp slip away, as they now face an uphill battle to stay in the hunt for the safe spots. But it feels that they are done for!

Ipswich, once on top, found themselves on the back foot as Wolves continued to press. Changes made by Ipswich failed to turn the tide, with several chances either wasted or blocked by a resolute Wolves defense. While they fought hard, their inability to maintain control or produce another goal in the latter stages of the game proved costly. Their attacking play became more desperate, with some key players failing to deliver the final product when needed most.

Ipswich started the game in a promising manner, taking a lead through a well-taken goal from Delap, and looked like they were in control for much of the match. The home side worked hard to maintain possession and defend their lead, with Palmer coming to the rescue at key moments, including a heart-stopping incident involving a back-pass. Despite a few nervy moments, particularly during a tense spell with a Wolves free-kick from close range, Ipswich appeared to have the game in hand. However, their failure to capitalize on their attacking moments would come back to haunt them. Wolves, however, never gave up. They were patient and, despite trailing, continued to press forward with purpose. Their persistence paid off in the second half, first with Sarabia finding the equalizer with a clinical finish into the bottom right corner. Then, with the momentum shifting their way, it was Strand Larsen who delivered the decisive blow, scoring a scrappy goal off a Sarabia cross to put Wolves ahead. The visitors’ composure in the second half ultimately led them to grab all three points, much to the disappointment of the Ipswich supporters.

WOLVES ARE 12 POINTS CLEAR OF THE RELEGATION PLACES! THEY ARE SURELY SAFE NOW! FOR IPSWICH, THIS FEELS DONE!
