Leicester City outclass Ipswich to jump to eighth | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Leicester City beat Ipswich Town 3-1 in the Championship. Bobby Decordova-Reid opened the scoring in the eighth minute with a crisp strike from outside the box after Luke Thomas' pass. Abdul Fatawu's long-range effort doubled the lead (43.) and Jordan Ayew added a third after the restart (52.), before Jens-Lys Cajuste pulled one back (71.). The Foxes were clinical, converting three of four shots on target, while the Tractor Boys registered only two on target from 13 attempts despite having more of the ball. The Foxes visit Queens Park Rangers next, while the Tractor Boys host Sheffield Wednesday.

Player of the Match: Abdul Fatawu drove the result with a superb long-range goal before the interval and relentless two-way work, finishing with two shots on target from four and eight possessions won.

Stat of the Match: The Tractor Boys managed only two shots on target from 13 attempts, underscoring wasteful finishing.

Three Things We Learned: Ricardo Pereira provided thrust from the right, delivering an assist and two key passes to set the attacking tempo. The Tractor Boys had 57.6% possession but created little end product with just two efforts on target. Jannik Vestergaard anchored the back line with 10 clearances, underpinning the Foxes' penalty-box control.
