Ipswich Town vs Southampton
It ends 2-1 for Southampton, who get their first victory in the Premier League since November. Onucachu is the game-winner, as the Nigerian converts from close range to give them the victory. However, before the goal, it was Ipswich who were carrying the game. Nevertheless, despite 15 shots - six of which were on target - the Tractor Boys could not make the most of their chances. The hosts carried most of the second half, and will be very disappointed to leave this match with no points. The xG also ends in their favour, 1.55 to 1.01. Meanwhile, it is a massive win for Southampton, who could turn their season around with this result. A run of six defeats and 13 without a win, are over. That wraps up this live text commentary between Ipswich and Southampton, which once again ends 2-1 for the Saints. Thank you for tuning in, and until next time.
