"The visitors made a strong start and went close towards the end of the first half, with Coventry goalkeeper Carl Rushworth making a stunning save to deny Jack Taylor after he slammed a powerful effort at goal from 15 yards out. Ipswich continued to dominate after the break as Matt Grimes' uncharacteristically poor pass led to Ivan Azon being set through on goal, but his low shot was saved by Rushworth."
"Nevertheless, the deserved opener arrived just three minutes later through Jack Clarke, as his curling shot deflected in off ex-Ipswich defender Luke Woolfenden. Lampard made changes in midfield as the home side searched for an equaliser, but Ipswich doubled their lead in the 82nd minute as Clarke led a counter-attack, threading a pass to Marcelino Nunez, who then found Wes Burns to finish off a sweeping move."
