It has been the story of Ipswich Town’s season so far as they dropped points once again.

The Tractor Boys have dropped 12 points from winning positions, the most of any team in the Premier League this campaign.

Since their return to the Premier League, the newly-promoted side have scored the opening goal in five league games this season and not gone on to win any of those (D3 L2).

Relegation looks a distinct possibility with just two points after 10 games as Kieran McKenna’s side went ahead before finishing the match with 10 men for the second successive game.

Kalvin Phillips was sent off for a second bookable offence after a late challenge on Ricardo Pereira with 12 minutes remaining and the home side were unable to hang on for their first league victory of the season.

Ipswich have registered five draws and five losses in their opening 10 games, the club’s longest winless run at the start of a top-flight campaign.
