Wolves 1 - 2 Ipswich - Cryptocents

Jack Taylor scored with the last attack of the game to send Wolves and Gary O'Neil into serious trouble as Ipswich secured a huge 2-1 victory.

O'Neil's men looked to have salvaged a point when Matheus Cunha canceled out Matt Doherty's own goal but a failure to defend a late set piece proved costly for Wolves as Taylor headed home on 93 minutes.

It sparked angry scenes at full-time when Rayan Ait-Nouri, who received a second yellow card after the whistle, had to be dragged down the tunnel by team-mate Craig Dawson after clashing with Wes Burns at Ipswich as boos went down from the lane. to stand

“I was disappointed that he wasn't able to control himself the way we need him to,” O'Neill said.

“We are short enough in areas of the pitch and now I have to find a back for next week.”

Ipswich were superb on 65 minutes with Liam Delap setting up the attack and it was his excellent work down the right that sparked some chaos in the box which ended with Doherty heading into the net. his own

The boos and boos only grew as a series of Wolves attacks ended with bad passes and worse decisions, but eventually Wolves pulled something out of the bag to pull themselves together level in the 72nd minute when Cunha went past some questionable goalkeeper Arijanet Muric.

Wolves were pushed for a winner but Taylor headed home from a brilliant Jack Clarke set piece to secure the points.

Wolves have now lost their last four games in the Premier League and leave them four points off the bottom of the table.

They have only won two of their 16 league games this season, and O'Neill is now in serious danger of losing his job.

O'Neill: These players need me

wolves leader O'Neill:

“That group needs me to get them to a place where they're ready to go and I'll keep fighting for them. And that doesn't mean I won't get my sack. For her all results, my chances are. Losing my job will be more, that's nothing new – it doesn't bother me.

“When I talk to Matt (Hobbs) and Jeff (Shi), they tell me I have to do more or they'll replace me. That's the same message to the players, you have to do more to compete at the rate this or you will get a place.

“I'm not interested in my own situation – I know the work I do every day and I know the situation we're in. To make the group this is a performance like they did today. people can comment on the situation we are in. but some of the responsibilities have to land on the players in those moments When we get in a good position and put the ball away the pitch – I can't help them with that League.

“(Dara) O'Shea pushing down the pitch for (Liam) Delap and us not tackling it, that's not me. I can't fix that. That's the lads. I'm fine comfortable as myself as a coach and my standards as a coach and what I am going to do over the coming years as long as I decide to be a coach I will also accept difficult times.

'Great moment'

Ipswich leader Ciaran McKenna:

“It's a great moment for us and we've been on the other side of it this season so we've got to enjoy that one. I thought we were the better team better until they got the goal and then we came under a lot of pressure. We hung on and I thought five or six minutes before the goal we came again – and it's a good way for Jack to score his first Premier League goal.

“I didn't think about it before (relegation) and I don't think about it now. I didn't come into the Premier League to worry about where we finish. We want to make the most of our trip. has been showing our identity as a football club and that's what we're going to try to do.”
