This was cruel on Ipswich. Belief must sag after repeated reverses and bitter experiences like Bournemouth’s late equaliser through Enes Unal and then Dango Ouattara’s winner, especially when the latter came as late as the 95th minute.
Perhaps the ride to get to the Premier League was the fun part. There is plenty of suffering yet to come, Bournemouth held their hand to the fire in dominating possession and opportunities in search of an equaliser of Conor Chaplin’s first-half strike and once it came they did not let up. As Ipswich sagged after the equaliser, Bournemouth coolly, almost surgically cut through, and Ouattara reduced Portman Road to a hush beyond the corner full of away fans.
