Ipswich’s wait is over. Portman Road would not be denied its first Premier League win since April 2002. Chelsea’s title challenge, such as it was, will not reach 2025. Two defeats and a draw over the festive period leave them ten points behind Liverpool, not so much holding on coattails as left for dust.
Liam Delap did the damage, winning a penalty he clattered home, then laying up Omari Hutchinson for the second in a barnstorming performance. If Ipswich and Kieran McKenna revitalised hope in their battle against relegation, then Enzo Maresca’s targets for Chelsea are being redrawn to remaining in the top four.
