Ipswich Town secured their first Premier League victory of the season when they deservedly beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 away thanks to first-half goals by Sammie Szmodics and Liam Delap and climbed out of the relegation zone on Sunday.
Promoted Ipswich took the game to Spurs from the start and hit the bar with a towering header by centre-back Cameron Burgess from a Leif Davis corner after nine minutes following a spell of pressure that had put Spurs on the back foot.
Ipswich took the lead just past the half-hour mark with a superb overhead kick by striker Szmodics, who was left unmarked after Tottenham defender Cristian Romero’s misguided header, to the delight of Blues fan and singer Ed Sheeran in the stands.
The visitors scored again in the 43rd minute through Delap who pounced on a rebound after goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario could only parry a low cross from Szmodics following good work by Omari Hutchinson who had broken clear in midfield.
