Flemming's late strike secures Ipswich win over 10‑man Crystal Palace
Zian Flemming scored his first goal for Ipswich, a late strike that gave the club a victory over Crystal Palace, who were down to 10 men at Selhurst Park. The win boosts Ipswich’s position in the league.
At Selhurst Park, Ipswich Town faced Crystal Palace in a Premier League clash that saw the hosts struggle to maintain a full squad. Palace were reduced to 10 men after a red card, which left them vulnerable on the home side.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Palace kept the game close for much of the first half, but the visitors struggled to find a rhythm against a disciplined Palace defense.
In the second half, Zian Flemming found the back of the net for the first time in his Ipswich career, scoring a late goal that proved decisive. The strike came in the dying minutes, sealing a victory for the hosts.
The result lifts Ipswich up the table and provides a confidence boost after a series of mixed performances. It also marks a milestone for Flemming, who has yet to score for the club.
Ipswich will now look to maintain momentum in their upcoming fixtures, while Crystal Palace will need to regroup after the setback caused by their reduced squad.
