Ipswich Beat Chelsea To Claim First EPL Home Win In 22 Years
Ipswich Town recorded their first home Premier League win of the season on Monday, as they produced a huge shock to beat Chelsea 2-0.
Liam Delap’s barnstorming display helped Ipswich registered a first EPL home win in 22 years.
Liam Delap was the hero, scoring the first from the penalty spot and assisting Omari Hutchinson, who was signed from Chelsea in the summer, for the second goal.

Chelsea flattered to deceive, especially when falling 2-0 behind, as they suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time under Enzo Maresca and are now 10 points behind league leaders Liverpool, who also have a game in hand.

Cole Palmer hit the woodwork with a free-kick from 22 yards and Christopher Nkunku’s follow-up was gratefully claimed by goalkeeper Christian Walton, who was a calming influence replacing the dropped Arijanet Muric.
The second half continued in a similar manner with a Felix header cleared off the line by Wes Burns before Walton thwarted Madueke’s low effort.
Ipswich continued to be pinned back, but received an almighty gift from Disasi in the 53rd minute and Hutchinson gratefully made the most of it.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa spoiled Brighton’s night with a dramatic come back to secure a point at home, as Ruben Amorim’s bad days continued on Manchester, following a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United.
