Ipswich Beat Blackburn 3-0 to Extend Unbeaten Run and Stay Third

Blackburn's night underscored mounting problems, from injuries to a failure to register a shot on target.

Overview

  • Ipswich's sixth straight match unbeaten in all competitions featured goals in the third minute, the 12th, and the 88th.
  • The scoring opened with an own goal by debutant Eiran Cashin, followed by Jack Taylor's close-range finish from a corner routine.
  • Brighton loanee Cashin diverted Marcelino Nunez's low cross after build-up play from George Hirst and Jaden Philogene.
  • Sam Szmodics added a late third against his former club to record his first home goal for Ipswich.
  • Referee Andrew Kitchen rejected multiple Blackburn penalty appeals as Rovers, injury-hit and 20th in the table, finished without a shot on target.
