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:
9. Jamal Lowe - 5
Instructed to try and give Wednesday some speed on the counter, Lowe pounced on a defensive mix-up in the first half and saw a shot cleared off the line by Cédric Kipré. Clearly tired as the game wore on. | UGC
10. Charlie McNeill - 5
Tried to impose himself on the game as much as he could in a game Wednesday were always unlikely to get much attacking joy out of. Tried a couple of flicks and offered plenty of running. Was replaced late on by Iké Ugbo. | UGC
11. Bailey Cadamarteri - 5
Had his first sight of goal with 15 minutes on the clock, connecting with a McNeill corner, but he sent a free header well wide of the target when he should have done a lot better. Did a lot of huffing and puffing to no avail. | UGC
12. Gabriel Otegbayo - 3
Introduced shortly after half-time to replace Iorfa and slotted straight in at right-sided centre-back. At fault for Ipswich's third goal after failing to protect the ball from Jack Clarke. Simply not good enough at this level. | UGC
