Ipswich Town vs Portsmouth

Freddie Ladapo and Wes Burns scored within six minutes of each other to earn Ipswich a 3-2 win that ended promotion-seeking rivals Portsmouths unbeaten ...

Ladapo struck in the 74th minute, after only coming on the pitch as a substitute a minute earlier, but Bishop scored from the spot again three minutes later after Sam Morsy was adjudged to have fouled Ronan Curtis in the box. But Burns secured the three points when he headed home a minute later following a cross from Kyle Edwards. Conor Chaplin hit the post with a snapshot following a corner and Leif Davis' shot was defected over the bar before the Tractor Boys took the lead through Harness in the 25th minute when he was put through on goal by Chaplin.

Pompey head to Ipswich's Portman Road today for arguably their toughest game of the season to date.
