Sheffield Wednesday suffered a sixth defeat in their last seven Championship matches on Saturday afternoon, losing 3-1 to Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
Goals either side of half-time from Cédric Kipré and Jaden Philogene put the promotion-chasing Tractor Boys in charge and well on their way to all three points, but Liam Cooper pulled a goal back for Wednesday with just under 20 minutes of normal time remaining to give the Owls a ray of hope.
However, Ipswich sealed the points when Jack Clarke, fresh off the bench, poked home a third from inside the six-yard box.
Here is how we rated Wednesday’s players at Portman Road:
5. Liam Palmer - 4
Tasked with keeping an eye on the dangerous Philogene, Palmer did get opportunities to get into forward areas from right-wing back. Latched onto a lovely pass from Barry Bannan, who showed excellent vision to find him, but he passed the ball out play when he had better options. Caught high up the field for Ipswich's third goal. | UGC
6. Svante Ingelsson - 6
Typically busy in the engine room and tried to provide as much defensive protection as he possibly could. Also tried to make things happen inside the final third on the rare occasions Wednesday got forward. | UGC
7. Barry Bannan - 6
Attempted to orchestrate proceedings as he always does. Sent over the free-kick that led to Cooper pulling a goal back for Wednesday. | UGC
8. Harry Amass - 6
Tasked with dealing with Darnell Furlong and Sindre Walle Egeli down Ipswich's right, the 18-year-old made a couple of excellent tackles in the first half to halt attacks. He then made a hat-trick of defensive actions in the blink of an eye after the break. | UGC
