From the first minutes, Chelsea encountered countless difficulties. In the 10th minute, Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen committed a foul in the penalty area, creating an opportunity for Ipswich's Liam Delap to successfully take the penalty, opening the score 1-0 for Ipswich.
After conceding the goal, Chelsea had a strong response. In the 24th minute, Joao Felix scored the equalizer for Chelsea after an excellent combination with Cole Palmer. However, the joy of The Blues did not last long when the goal was disallowed for offside by a Chelsea player. The match became more tense with many controversial situations, in which VAR technology was used by the referee to ensure accurate decisions.
Ipswich not only successfully defended their lead, but also continuously created dangerous attacks. In the 53rd minute, Omari Hutchinson doubled the gap to 2-0 for the home team with an accurate finish after a pass from Liam Delap.
After this goal, Chelsea seemed to lose themselves. Their attacks lacked sharpness and could not penetrate Ipswich's solid defense.
Despite a change of personnel, when Jadon Sancho replaced Christopher Nkunku in the 65th minute and Nicolas Jackson replaced Joao Felix in the 55th minute, Chelsea still could not find an attacking solution. Ipswich continued to play a tight defense, while counter-attacking effectively, making the visitors even more confused.
In the end, Chelsea lost 0-2. This defeat made Chelsea's hopes of winning the Premier League dim, as they faced many questions about their form and tactics.
