Fulham 2-2 Ipswich: Player ratings as Jimenez penalty double rescues point | OneFootball

A rain-soaked Craven Cottage bore witness to a thrilling 2-2 draw between Fulham and Premier League new boys Ipswich Town.

The Tractor Boys were pressed back into their own half by an energetic home side during the opening exchanges but always looked capable on the counter attack. That threat materialised into the opening goal as Calvin Bassey's horrific scuffed clearance - which followed Ben Johnson's header clanging off the crossbar - fell at the feet of Sammie Szmodics - the former Blackburn Rovers star firing past Bernd Leno from close range.

Fulham felt Leif Davis should have seen red for a foul on Harry Wilson before half-time - a decision that left Marco Silva fuming on the touchline - and the latter was the victim of Sam Morsy's trip just over 20 minutes from time.

Referee Darren Bond was advised by VAR to review his decision of non-penalty, allowing Raul Jimenez to level the scores from 12 yards. Just minutes later, Ipswich had a spot-kick of their own as Timothy Castagne felled Liam Delap, and the in-form forward smashed his effort into the corner of Leno's net.

Substitute Jack Clarke rattled the post as Ipswich pushed to put the game beyond doubt, but agonisingly conceded another penalty as Davis' trailing leg tripped Jimenez. The Mexican coolly converted once more, sending goalkeeper Christian Walton the wrong way as his effort sailed into the top corner.

Fulham stay 9th in the table, while Ipswich remain in the bottom three on goal difference.
