Ipswich 2-2 Sheffield Wednesday: Leif Davis equaliser sees Owls surrender League One top spot
Saturday 11 February 2023 18:58, UK
Sheffield Wednesday surrendered pole position in Sky Bet League One following a pulsating 2-2 draw at Ipswich.
Two goals down in the first half following a sublime header by Michael Smith and a strike by George Byers, the Tractor Boys levelled the game through Nathan Broadhead and Leif Davis and also had a penalty saved by the Owls goalkeeper Cameron Dawson.
Two corners in quick succession led to the spot-kick being awarded to Ipswich when Wes Burns was left on the floor following an off-the-ball challenge by Aden Flint.
However, Chaplin's 19th-minute spot-kick was deflected clear by the legs of Dawson.
Wednesday made the most of the let-off and took the lead in the 27th minute through Smith, after a cross from Josh Windass.
