Ipswich Town vs Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham makes it three wins in a row as they convincingly beat Ipswich Town 4-1 away from home. The visitors found the breakthrough in the 18th minute, as Son found joy on the left and jinked past Godfrey to supply Johnson with an easy tap-in. While the celebrations were muted due to Johnson senior's spell in Suffolk, the groans were increasingly audible for the second goal eight minutes later as the formula remained the same. Son was played in on the left and danced back across the box to find Johnson to roll past Palmer easily. Ipswich did find a glimmer of hope as Hutchinson guided a cute Clarke pull-back into the bottom-right corner before the interval, yet a resounding Spurs performance quickly snuffed that out in the second period. Following a Woolfenden header disallowed for offside, Postecoglou's side supplied a pair of sucker punches as first Spence fired in a deflected effort in the 77th minute before the 84th saw Kulusevski wrap things up with a lovely curler off the inside of the left post. After this outing that saw the visitors comfortably exceed their 1.62 xG, Spurs move to 12th. For 1.13 xG Ipswich on the other hand, they stay in 18th. Thank you for joining us today, we hope you enjoyed the game!
