Flemming and Ipswich floor 10-man Crystal Palace with 90th-minute winner

The Guardian · 9 hours ago

Ipswich Town beat 10-man Crystal Palace 3-2 at Selhurst Park thanks to a 90th-minute winner from Zian Flemming, handing new manager Gary O'Neil his first victory there after five previous winless visits. Palace, reduced to 10 men after Axel Disasi's first-half red card for a reckless challenge on Jack Clarke, have now lost their opening two home league games of a season for the first time since 2018 and have conceded more goals than any other Premier League side.

Anan Khalaili put Palace ahead before Emersonn equalised for Ipswich and Leif Davis headed the visitors in front just before half-time; Jørgen Strand Larsen levelled again with 15 minutes remaining before Flemming scrambled home the decisive goal after Davis struck the crossbar, with goalkeeper Walter Benítez at fault. Flemming was the last of Ipswich's 14 summer signings, part of a record £190m outlay for a promoted club, and O'Neil hailed the win as the highlight of "the best four months" of his career. Palace manager Pierre Sage defended his decision to drop captain Jaydee Canvot for the game, saying he needed "100%" from his players, while both sides continue to struggle defensively, with neither having kept a clean sheet in months.
