Rashford volleys a cross to Mbeumo, a yard out on the stretch he cannons his effort off the bar. Tricky chance but should be 2-1.

43’ MUN 1-1 IPS – Penalty shout

Tielemans goes down, Pawson thinks about it and says no. Seen a replay and perhaps Tielemans is lucky not to be booked for diving. He went down very softly.
43’ MUN 1-1 IPS – Big moment
An irony that the goal comes from a United throw, which becomes an Ipswich throw when Dalot takes too long over it. A hint of fortune with Nunez slipping but that is a gift United have to take advantage of. They were on the ropes, but that is a big moment and has to lead to an uptick in performance. Been poor for the last 25 minutes or so.

40’ MUN 1-1 IPS – GOAL UNITED
United level!! Fernandes. United break quickly, Cunha plays through Fernandes and he makes no mistake one-on-one.

Fatawu lunges in and catches Mbeumo. Pawson has a minute to think and then books the Ipswich man.
34’ MUN 0-1 IPS – Booking
Lukic booked for a foul on Tielemans.

31’ MUN 0-1 IPS – Hopeless defending
That is hopeless defending. Fatawu made mince meat of Shaw and the defending inside the penalty area is shambolic. Everyone heads to the six-yard line and nobody bothers to pick up Davis, who is in acred of space to apply a finish. Another cross and another goal conceded. Ipswich had good chances even before then.

Davis opens the scoring. Fatawu beats Shaw to the byline, crosses and Davis produces a smart cushioned finish off the underside of the crossbar.
