Decisive figure fires Ipswich Town past City | OneFootball

Jack Clarke broke the game open in the eighth minute with a composed finish, setting Ipswich Town on their way to a 2-0 win over Bristol City.

Clarke drifted in off the left to meet a quick pass from Jens-Lys Cajuste and guided a low effort beyond Radek Vítek (8.). The strike settled the Tractor Boys early and put City on the back foot.

After the restart he doubled the advantage, taking Ivan Azon Monzon's lay-off before drilling in from inside the box (55.). That cushion let Ipswich control territory while The Robins chased.

He finished with two goals from three attempts and five touches in the box, plus six possessions won that kept City pinned in. Fourteen successful final third passes underlined how he linked Ipswich's transitions to sustained pressure.

Given the space Ipswich created down the left, Clarke repeatedly isolated his marker and attacked the channel, stretching The Robins and tilting the game's key phases in the Tractor Boys' favour.

The Tractor Boys rise from third to second in the Championship. They visit Sheffield United next. City host Sheffield Wednesday next.
