Brighton beat Ipswich to end winless run

"VAN" (Sports Desk - 17.01.2025) :: Brighton & Hove Albion ended a run of eight Premier League matches without a win by beating Ipswich Town 2-0 at Portman Road.

Second-half goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter were enough to seal victory for the Seagulls, boosting their hopes of European qualification.

Ipswich did threaten in the first half as Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson forced Bart Verbruggen into decent stops.

But Mitoma smuggled in an effort just short of the hour mark before Rutter's clever flick made the points safe nine minutes from time, taking Brighton up to ninth in the table.

They are just four points adrift of sixth-placed Manchester City, while Ipswich drop back into the relegation zone on goals scored, with Wolverhampton Wanderers moving back up to 17th despite Wednesday's 3-0 loss at Newcastle United.
