Ipswich Town vs Brentford
Brentford escape late pressure from Ipswich to take all three points in a competitive Premier League match at Portman Road. Ipswich came close in the first five minutes to taking the lead through top scorer Delap; however his header was saved comfortably by Flekken. Brentford took the lead in the 18th minute. An in-swinging corner from Mbeumo found Schade at the near post, whose header looped over Palmer in net and into the far corner to make it 1-0. Damsgaard came close to doubling the lead just before half-time, however his effort slowly rolled past the post and wide. Ipswich’s best chance of the game came in added time. A fantastic cross from deep from Hutchinson found a queue of Ipswich players. Burgess’ first-time volley was fantastically saved by the foot of Flekken to win Brentford the match. Ipswich’s late barrage of pressure led to them finish the game with 0.75xG, including Burgess’ chance that equated to 0.31xG. Brentford perhaps deserved all three points according to the stats, as they had 1.21xG across the 90 minutes. Ipswich travel to relegated Leicester next time out, whilst Brentford face a huge game for a European push at home to Fulham.

WHAT A SAVE FROM FLEKKEN! Hutchinson’s in-swinging cross finds Burgess just outside the six-yard box. His first time volley is saved low by Flekken to keep it 1-0 to the visitors.

Palmer has a moment as his touch is a poor one and he has to see the ball out for a corner before an oncoming Wissa could take it off him.

Damsgaard makes way for Thiago. No player created more chances than Damsgaard in the 85 minutes he was on the pitch.
