On November 11, Beijing Time, in the 11th round of the Premier League, Ipswich Town defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 away, securing their first win of the season. This is also Ipswich Town’s first Premier League victory in 22 years.
In the first 10 rounds of the league this season, Ipswich Town had only managed 5 draws and 5 losses, accumulating 5 points, and had not tasted victory. Such a poor performance also made Ipswich Town a favorite for relegation in the Premier League. However, in this round of matches, Ipswich Town created an upset, defeating Tottenham Hotspur, one of the BIG6 clubs, 2-1 away to secure their first win of the season.
This is a historic moment for Ipswich Town as well. Their last Premier League win dates back to 2002. In the 2001-02 season, Ipswich Town finished 18th in the Premier League and was relegated. Since then, Ipswich Town has been lingering in the lower leagues. In the 2023-24 season, Ipswich Town secured the runner-up position in the Championship, finally returning to the Premier League. Today, after a long wait of 22 years, Ipswich Town has finally won again in the Premier League.
