There is a break in play as Chaplin is down and needs treatment.

Ipswich try to beat Newcastle's press in the first phase but sloppy passing again sees Guimaraes win the ball back for the Magpies. McKenna will likely be displeased with his side's performance in possession so far.

Murphy is enjoying a strong run of form, with three goals and two assists in his last three Premier League games.

Gordon deserves credit for the run and then laying it off for Murphy to rifle home. The two wingers have been impressive for the away side so far.

GOALL!!!!! 2-0 NEWCASTLE! WHAT A FINISH! Gordon drags out a few Ipswich defenders with a positive run before centring to Murphy on the right-hand side of the penalty area. With little backlift, the winger thrashes an effort right into the roof of the net, giving Muric no chance! Ipswich 0-2 Newcastle.

Cajuste has space to run into for the home side but his pass is easily intercepted by Tonali. Newcastle go on the attack but Muric collects from a poor cross by Hall.

WHAT A CHANCE FOR TWO! Isak is put clean through after a wonderful pass from Murphy but his effort is a weak one and straight at Muric! You would expect so much more from him in that position!
