Ipswich 1-2 Bournemouth: Cherries make it eight wins in a row

← Back to Match CentreIpswich v Bournemouth

Bournemouth extended their winning run to eight matches in all competitions with a 2-1 victory over Ipswich at Portman Road.

Evanilson punished an early goalkeeping error before a Leif Davis own goal doubled the visitors’ advantage just after half-time. Jack Clarke’s penalty gave Ipswich hope, but Bournemouth held on.

Evanilson punishes Walton’s mistake

The opening goal came after five minutes when Christian Walton failed to deal with a backpass. Evanilson seized the opportunity and finished into an unguarded net.

Sky Sports’ footage of the opener shows the mistake that handed Bournemouth an immediate advantage.

Ipswich reached the interval only a goal behind, but conceded again in the opening minute of the second half.

Davis own goal leaves Ipswich chasing

Ryan Christie’s effort took deflections off Issa Diop and Davis on its way in, with the second goal recorded as an own goal against the Ipswich left-back.

Clarke reduced the deficit from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute after Lewis Cook was penalised for a challenge on Abdoul Ouattara.

That ensured Bournemouth still had work to do, but Ipswich could not complete the comeback.

Bournemouth’s winning run continues

Marco Rose’s side had arrived in Suffolk after winning at Sparta Prague in the Europa League on Thursday. They left with another victory, maintaining their momentum across domestic and European competition.

For Gary O’Neil, defeat against his former club came after Ipswich had given themselves a difficult task with costly mistakes at the start of each half.
