‎Ipswich Town celebrated their first home Premier League victory of the season in stunning fashion, delivering a major upset with a 2-0 triumph over Chelsea. The result marked a memorable occasion for the Tractor Boys, who had not tasted a home win in the top flight since 2002—a staggering 8,286 days ago.
Liam Delap emerged as the standout performer, playing a pivotal role in both goals. He confidently converted a penalty to break the deadlock before setting up Omari Hutchinson, who joined Ipswich from Chelsea during the summer transfer window, for the decisive second. Remarkably, neither Delap nor Hutchinson had even been born the last time Ipswich secured a home win in the Premier League.
Chelsea, meanwhile, delivered a disjointed performance, struggling to impose themselves for much of the match. The defeat was a significant setback for manager Enzo Maresca, as his side endured back-to-back losses for the first time under his leadership. The result leaves Chelsea 10 points adrift of league leaders Liverpool, who have the added advantage of a game in hand, further compounding the Blues’ frustrations.
