Zian Flemming scored a late winner to give Ipswich Town a 3-2 victory over a 10-man Crystal Palace side on Saturday. The win marks Ipswich's second of the season.
Crystal Palace took the lead in the 14th minute through Anan Khalaili's drilled finish. However, the match turned when Palace defender Axel Disasi was shown a red card for a challenge on Jack Clarke, leaving the team to play with 10 men for over 55 minutes.
Despite being a man down, Crystal Palace maintained control until Ipswich equalized against the run of play. Leif Davis scored Ipswich's first goal, heading in a cross from Emersonn. The defense had reportedly stopped playing, anticipating an offside call.
Ipswich then took the lead before halftime when Davis scored his second goal, heading home a fortunate rebound. In the second half, Jorgen Strand Larsen equalized for Crystal Palace, capitalizing on a defensive lapse and scoring from just inside the area. Khalaili missed a chance to put Palace back in front shortly after.
With the clock ticking towards 90 minutes, Davis's headed attempt struck the crossbar, and substitute Zian Flemming was on hand to scuff the rebound into the net for the winning goal.
This victory marks Ipswich's first time coming from behind to win a Premier League match since December 2001. The team has now secured two wins in four games, with their losses coming against Liverpool and Manchester United.
Crystal Palace's defense has conceded 11 goals in their first four Premier League games. Manager Pierre Sage has consistently changed the defensive lineup, leading to a lack of stability. The team has not kept a clean sheet in their last 10 Premier League matches.
