Liam Delap's stellar performance helped Ipswich secure their first home win of the season, defeating Chelsea 2-0.
Delap opened the scoring with a 12th-minute penalty and later assisted Omari Hutchinson for Ipswich's second. Chelsea dominated possession but lacked efficiency, with Joao Felix's first-half equalizer ruled out for offside.
Despite their efforts, Chelsea struggled to break down Ipswich's defense and were physically outmatched. Delap impressed throughout, showcasing his hold-up play and threat on the counter-attack, drawing attention from top clubs.
Ipswich's win lifts them to 18th in the table, while Chelsea, now 10 points behind leaders Liverpool, face growing concerns over their title challenge and need for a new striker.
