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.

Fulham vs Ipswich Town
Fulham take on Ipswich hoping to continue their fine run of form which sees them unbeaten in their last seven in the Premier League. Having led twice against Bournemouth last time out, only to be pegged back to end the game 2-2, they may harbour a tinge of disappointment not to have come away with three points. But their current undefeated streak is impressive and has seen them deny the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea. The Cottagers hold a strong advantage in the head-to-head stats against today’s opponents, winning their last six league games against them. Marco Silva’s side will, however, be acutely aware that the Tractor Boys arrive in good spirits, having beaten Chelsea 2-0 in their last game, which incidentally, was immediately after Fulham had also recorded a victory over the Blues.
Fulham vs Ipswich Town
Ipswich will be buoyant after they upset the odds to bring Chelsea crashing down to earth with a 2-0 victory last week, thanks to goals from Liam Delap and former Chelsea man Omari Hutchinson. Delap, in particular, is gaining admiring glances from other clubs following his exploits, and Ipswich fans will hope the club can rebuff any advances this month if they are to have any chance of retaining their Premier League status. They are looking to record consecutive wins for the first time in the league this season. A win today would propel them out of the bottom three, leapfrogging Wolves and Everton, with the former playing tomorrow against Nottingham Forest.
