Ipswich Town 2-2 Norwich City: Wes Burns' equaliser earns point for Tractor Boys

  /  autty

Ipswich were denied the chance to replace Leicester at the top of the Sky Bet Championship again after they were held to a 2-2 draw by Norwich at Portman Road on Saturday.

Having spurned two earlier chances to give Town the lead, Nathan Broadhead rifled home from a George Hirst header to give the hosts the lead in the first East Anglian derby since February 2019.

The lead was short-lived, as a determined Jon Rowe volleyed in from close range five minutes before the break and, inside three minutes of the restart, the England U21 international struck a low shot through a crowd, which took a deflection on its way past Vaclav Hladky into the back of the net.

Wes Burns came up trumps on the hour, though, as he found the bottom corner with his second goal in four games, which earned a point for Ipswich, who move level on points with leaders Leicester.

Norwich climb to ninth ahead of the remainder of Saturday afternoon's action.
