Match in Five Sentences: Ipswich Town beat Hull City one-nil at Portman Road. Azor Matusiwa settled it in the 71st minute, rifling a right-footed effort from outside the box into the top right corner after Leif Davis' pass. The Tractor Boys' bench tilted the game as substitute Davis created the winner. Hull failed to register a shot on target, reflecting how little they created. The Tractor Boys rise from fourth to third and host Leicester City next, while Hull stay fifth and welcome Millwall.

Player of the Match: Matusiwa dictated midfield and delivered the winner, completing 51 accurate passes from 53 to give the Tractor Boys control.
