Ipswich stun Tottenham for 1st EPL victory in 22 years
Ipswich Town stunned Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Sunday for their first Premier League victory in 22 years.
Ipswich will play host to Ruben Amorim in his first match as Manchester United manager in two weeks and will go into that game buoyed by their first win since their return to the top flight.
Spurs were finally made to pay for their slow starts at home as they went behind for the 13th time in 15 Premier League games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2024.
Sammie Szmodics took advantage of statuesque Tottenham defending to open the scoring with an overhead kick on 31 minutes.
Liam Delap doubled the visitors' lead in far less spectacular fashion as he lashed in from point-blank range after Radu Dragusin directed a cross towards his own goal.
Spurs had come back to win in eight of the previous 12 matches they conceded first at home this year but this time left themselves with too much to do.
Rodrigo Bentancur reduced the arrears with a powerful header from Pedro Porro's corner but they fell to a fifth league defeat in 11 games.
Ipswich move out of the relegation zone at Crystal Palace's expense, while Spurs slip to 10th.
