Ipswich Town 1-1 Leicester City: Hosts Continue to Drop Points

Ipswich Town faced a familiar scenario this season by dropping points yet again. The Tractor Boys have now surrendered 12 points from winning positions, a figure unmatched by any other team in the Premier League during the current campaign. Since their re-entry into the Premier League, the newly-promoted club has netted the opening goal in five league fixtures this season but has not managed to win any of those encounters, resulting in three draws and two defeats. With merely five points after 10 games, the threat of relegation looms large for Kieran McKenna’s squad. They initially established a lead but concluded the match with 10 players for the second consecutive game. Kalvin Phillips received a red card for a second bookable offence following a late tackle on Ricardo Pereira with 12 minutes left, which ultimately prevented the home side from securing their first league victory of the season. Ipswich has recorded five draws and five losses in their opening 10 games, marking the club’s longest winless streak at the commencement of a top-flight campaign.
