Ipswich celebrated their first Premier League victory of the season with a stunning 2-1 triumph over a lackluster Tottenham side, whose sloppy performance left fans frustrated at home.
The visitors took control early, surging ahead with two quick first-half goals. Sam Szmodics opened the scoring in style, acrobatically finding the net with an overhead kick, followed shortly by Liam Delap’s sharp finish from close range. Ipswich’s early aggression and composure put Spurs under immediate pressure, leaving the home side scrambling to recover.
Despite Tottenham’s attempts to rally in the second half, they struggled to mount a serious threat. Rodrigo Bentancur managed to pull one back with a header, but Spurs lacked the creativity needed to break down Ipswich’s resolute defense. A moment of hope came in the 52nd minute when Dominic Solanke thought he had equalized, but his effort was ruled out by VAR for handball, further compounding Tottenham’s frustration.
As the final whistle blew, Spurs were met with boos from disappointed fans, who have now watched their side suffer five Premier League losses under manager Ange Postecoglou this season. Meanwhile, Ipswich’s win was a momentous one for manager Kieran McKenna and his team, marking their first top-flight victory since April 2002. This hard-fought result also leaves no winless teams in the league, with both Wolves and Ipswich securing victories this weekend.
