Ipswich Town came from behind to defeat Fulham 2-1 at Portman Road on Monday, with Abdoul Ouattara’s 30‑yard equaliser in the 88th minute and captain Dara O’Shea’s stoppage‑time header sealing the win, Independent reported.

What happened

Ryan Sessegnon gave Fulham the lead with a 55th‑minute strike, putting the visitors ahead in Alvaro Arbeloa’s sixth Premier League match in charge. Ipswich pressed for a response, with Julio Enciso missing a wide effort and Josh King influencing play, but the first half ended goalless. In the second half, Fulham’s attempts included a header from David Affengruber that went over and a chance for Gonzalo Garcia that was blocked. Near the end, Ouattara unleashed a thunder‑bolt from 30 yards to level the score at 1‑1 with two minutes left. One minute into stoppage time, O’Shea headed home from a free‑kick delivered by Jack Clarke, completing the comeback.

What was said

The Independent quoted Arbeloa’s side as “watching his team collapse” before the late goals, and noted that the victory eased pressure on the Spanish manager after a winless start.
