Ipswich Win 2-0 at Norwich to Reclaim Second and End 20-Year Carrow Road Wait

The result strengthens their automatic‑promotion bid with two games in hand over third place.

Overview

  • Ipswich, who won 2-0 at Carrow Road on Saturday, moved back into the Championship’s top two with two games in hand on Millwall.
  • Jaden Philogene converted an early penalty described as harsh in reports, and George Hirst volleyed a second from a long throw before half-time.
  • Norwich saw more of the ball but an organized Ipswich defense kept clear chances to a minimum, with Christian Walton rarely tested.
  • The win ended Ipswich’s league drought at Carrow Road dating to 2006 and completed a season derby double over their rivals.
  • The derby unfolded under a sizable police plan and planned rail works that canceled direct Greater Anglia trains, as more than 2,000 away fans adjusted travel.
