Ipswich Town 1-2 Coventry City

16 October 2010 19:00
Clive Platt and Lukas Jutkiewicz helped Coventry claim their first win over Ipswich at Portman Road in 12 attempts as they edged their latest meeting 2-1 in the npower Championship. Platt's close-range header and Jutkiewicz's penalty put the Sky Blues two goals to the good and though Jason Scotland grabbed one back, it proved to be a mere consolation. Coventry had not won at Ipswich since April 1994, however, their margin of victory could have been wider but further efforts from Jutkiewicz and Platt struck the crossbar and post respectively. They went ahead when Sammy Clingan's left-wing corner found Aron Gunnarsson at the far post and he nodded the ball back across the area to Platt, who powered his header past Town goalkeeper Marton Fulop. Town were then caught on the break and Jutkiewicz was brought down by a clumsy challenge from Gareth McAuley to give City a penalty. Jutkiewicz opted to take the 56th-minute spot kick himself and he made no mistake by sending Fulop the wrong way. Almost immediately though, Jason Scotland halved the deficit when his first-time strike from Jaime Peters' right-wing cross found the back of the net.
