Chelsea draw 2–2 with Ipswich, Liverpool edge West Ham in dramatic finish

Chelsea were forced to settle for a 2–2 draw at home against newly promoted Ipswich Town on Sunday in a Premier League fixture that saw the visitors take a surprising early lead before the hosts clawed their way back in the second half.

Ipswich stunned Stamford Bridge in the 19th minute when Julio Enciso fired home from a Brennan Johnson assist to open the scoring.

Just 12 minutes later, the roles reversed as Johnson netted the second goal with an assist from Enciso, giving Ipswich a two-goal cushion heading into halftime.

Chelsea responded quickly after the break, with Axel Tuanzebe inadvertently putting the ball into his own net in the 46th minute, bringing the score to 2–1.

The Blues found the equaliser in the 79th minute through Jadon Sancho, who capitalised on a pass from Cole Palmer to level the game at 2–2.

The match also saw a flurry of yellow cards, with cautions issued to A. Palmer (38’), Palmer again (67’), S. Morsy (84’), and N. Jackson (87’), but neither side could find a winning goal before the final whistle.

Meanwhile, at Anfield, Liverpool secured a late 2–1 victory over West Ham United in a tightly contested clash.

Luis Díaz gave the Reds an early lead in the 18th minute after being set up by Mohamed Salah. The match remained 1–0 in Liverpool’s favour until the 86th minute, when a defensive mishap resulted in an own goal by Andy Robertson, levelling the score at 1–1.

However, just three minutes later, Virgil van Dijk restored Liverpool’s lead with a goal assisted by Alexis Mac Allister, sealing all three points for Jürgen Klopp’s side.

Vladimir Coufal received a yellow card in the 96th minute as tensions rose in the final moments of the game.
