Peterborough 0-2 Ipswich: Tractor Boys continue promotion charge
Saturday 22 April 2023 18:15, UK
Ipswich continued their march towards the Sky Bet Championship with a 2-0 success that knocked Peterborough out of the play-off places.
Kieran McKenna's men stretched their unbeaten League One run to 16 games with a dominant display from start to finish to stay second.
The breakthrough arrived when Nathan Broadhead's fierce 17th-minute shot was beaten away by Will Norris but Wes Burns reacted fastest to tuck away the rebound.
The goal was followed by an unsavoury incident as a fan spat at celebrating Ipswich players and was arrested.
Posh showed a first sign of life when Ephron Mason-Clark's close-range snapshot tested Christian Walton's reactions from close range and they threatened again late in the first half when League One leading scorer Jonson Clarke-Harris' blast was pushed away.

Substitute Freddie Ladapo saved the best until last with a third Ipswich goal in the 82nd minute when controlling on his chest and volleying into the corner of the net.
