Crystal Palace fell to a dramatic 2-3 defeat against Ipswich Town at Selhurst Park, with Zian Flemming scoring the decisive goal in stoppage time of the 90th minute. It was Flemming’s first goal for Ipswich and sealed a tough win for the visitors. The match was a rollercoaster, with Palace taking the lead, only to be equalized and then overtaken by Ipswich. The game also saw Crystal Palace reduced to 10 men after Axel Disasi was shown a red card in the first half for a dangerous tackle on Jack Clarke. Palace opened the scoring in the 14th minute when Daichi Kamada played a clever pass to Anan Khalaili. Khalaili’s first goal for the club came after the ball took a slight deflection off Leif Davis on its way into the net. Ipswich responded quickly, equalizing in the 23rd minute when Davis delivered a cross from the left, and Emersonn headed in his second goal of the season for Ipswich. The Tractor Boys took control shortly after, with Davis scoring again in the 45th minute. This time, Dara O'Shea’s cross was flicked on by Emersonn, allowing Davis to head past Palace goalkeeper Walter Benitez. Crystal Palace’s captain, Dean Henderson, was absent due to injury, and manager Michael Sage made several changes at halftime. Among the changes was the inclusion of 18-year-old Honest Ahanor and Walter Benitez, who was making his second Premier League start. Playing with 10 men, Palace struggled to regain control in the second half. Despite efforts from Kamada and Quinten Timber, they were unable to equalize until the 75th minute. Kamada’s cross found Jorgen Strand Larsen, who turned away from Issa Diop before firing a shot into the bottom corner of the net. Ipswich, however, had the final say in the 90th minute. A cross from Julio Enciso was headed by Davis, and the ball looped off the crossbar before substitute Zian Flemming capitalized on the rebound to score the winning goal. The loss highlighted Palace’s defensive issues, as they have not kept a clean sheet in the Premier League since April. Meanwhile, Ipswich had conceded 57 goals since their last clean sheet in December 2024, a run spanning 22 matches.
