Ipswich push Norwich closer to the drop

A debatable penalty proved decisive as Ipswich edged out Norwich at Portman Road this afternoon.

Ex-Norwich loanee Kevin Lisbie, who earlier in the week promised to the press that his side were going to give Norwich “a good spanking”, was at the centre of things, winning Ipswich’s penalty with the scores at 1-1. Gio Dos Santos converted the kick with only 25 minutes left.

Lisbie won the penalty that put Ipswich in control

Norwich had took the lead through David Mooney but the scores were tied when Alan Quinn equalised before half time.

The penalty gave Ipswich the lead, Jon Stead made it three one with one minute remaining, before Sammy Clingan scored an injured time spot kick for Norwich.

The 3-2 defeat leaves Norwich 1 point from safety, with only Reading and Charlton to play.

Manager Bryan Gunn was disgusted with the penalty decision and even Ipswich manager Jim Magilton admitted that he didn’t think it was a spot kick.

Clingan's goal was too little too late for the Canaries

However, its in the past now and Norwich really have to win there remaining two fixtures.

The next one, 8 days time, at home to Reading.
