Fulham vs Ipswich Town LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Re-live all the action from Craven Cottage
Raul Jimenez scored twice from the spot as Fulham held Ipswich Town to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League on Sunday, extending the hosts’ unbeaten streak to eight league matches.
Both teams converted penalties within two minutes as Jimenez cancelled out Sammie Szmodics’ first-half strike in the 69th minute, before Liam Delap restored the visitors’ lead after Timothy Castagne brought him down.
But Jimenez got a second crack at restoring parity when Leif Davis fouled him in the 90th minute, denying 18th-placed Ipswich a chance to climb out of the relegation zone for the first time since November.
Fulham, who are unbeaten since November, remained ninth with 30 points while Ipswich moved to 16, equal with 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers who have played a game less.

Goal! Samuel Joseph Szmodics
Nathan Broadhead swings in a lovely ball to the back post which Antonee Robinson heads against his bar trying to clear. The rebound falls to Sammie Szmodics, whose shot deflects in off Calvin Bassey with Fulham’s defence pulled all over the place.
Fulham 0-1 Ipswich

Much better from Fulham. Robinson plays a one-two with Iwobi and races into the box from the left. His cut-back is met by O'Shea though. Better movement from the home side who need to get Robinson involved more on that left side.

A rare chance to create something for Ipswich who have a corner. It does not even beat the first man and is headed out for a throw. The throw is launched into the box where Delap flicks on, but Bassey wallops clear.
Fulham vs Ipswich Town
This encounter is desperately short of quality so far. Fulham have looked marginally better going forward, but have not crafted enough in the way of opportunities. Ipswich-whilst tight-have not offered anything in attack.

The resulting free kick is floated to the far right of the penalty area, where Andersen attempts to get as much purchase as he can on the header, but it loops harmlessly into the grasp of Walton. Not enough whip and pace on the ball to cause problems.

Castagne is furious after two apparent Ipswich infringements go unotticed. Woolfenden appeared to stop Wilson slaloming through the visitors' dfence with his hand blocking the ball. Then Morsy bundles Cairney to the ground.

Delap takes the ball in on the right touchline, but two Fulham players immediately offer him company. He will be closely watched you feel this afternoon. Bassey and Cairney combine to win the throw.
