Full time: Ipswich 0-1 Norwich

Norwich are still the Pride of Anglia! There wasn’t much in the game but Norwich’s superior class told in the second half, particularly when the brilliant James Maddison scored a memorable winning goal. Thanks for your company, bye!

90+4 min Ipswich get one last corner, with the keeper Bialkowski coming forward for it. Waghorn swings it out towards the near post and Knudsen heads wide. It wasn’t much of a chance.

90+1 min What an effort from Waghorn! He nicked the ball off Reed on the edge of the area and floated a gorgeous left-footed chip across Gunn that drifted this far away from the top corner. I thought it was in.

90 min Norwich have done so well to take the heat out of this derby, and for most of the second half Ipswich have been reduced to futile huffing and puffing.

84 min Knudsen’s long throw is headed to the edge of the area, where Celina mishits a difficult volley into the ground and through to Gunn.

83 min A big lump forward falls nicely for Waghorn, who can’t get any power on his shot from the edge of the area. Gunn makes a comfortable save.

82 min Sears cuts in for the right and plays a cute pass into the area for Waghorn, who miscontrols the ball under pressure from Trybull.

76 min A fine pass from Stiepermann sends Jerome clear, but Bialkowski hares from his line to get to the ball a fraction before the striker.

71 min Chambers is booked for hacking Maddison. Ipswich are having plenty of the ball, with Norwich content to play on the counter, but they look less threatening that at any stage inthe match.

69 min Wildschut tries to run the last man Chambers, who stretches to make a crucial tackle.

That was a lovely goal. Hoolahan led a fine Norwich break and found Stiepermann, who played a square pass to Maddison just inside the box. He got the ball out of his feet and placed a lovely curling shot into the far corner. He is a serious talent, this lad.

58 min A half-chance for Norwich. Hoolahan plays a fine pass through the middle for Jerome, whose low shot from the edge of the box is too close to Bialkowski.

56 min Adeyemi and Klose are warned by the referee after a bit of a contretemps. Ipswich are bullying Norwich with increasing success and Norwich look rattled for the first time.

54 min Good play from Ipswich. Waghorn plays a nice pass down the right to Spence, who drills a flat cross towards the penalty spot. McGoldrick gets in front of Zimmerman and flicks a header just wide of the far post. That was a really good effort.

52 min A good break from Pinto leads to a corner on the left for Norwich. It’s taken short to Maddison, who is fouled just outside the area by Waghorn. Maddison clips the free-kick into the area and Garner heads away.

49 min Garner drags an ambitious volley well wide from 25 yards. It’s been a scruffy, hectic start to the second half, which suits Ipswich more than Norwich.

Half time: Ipswich 0-0 Norwich

Peep peep! That was an interesting if relatively uneventful 45 minutes. Ipswich had the better chances; Norwich played the better football. See you in 10 minutes for the second half.

45+1 min ... Waghorn’s free-kick is headed away by a Norwich defender, and that should be it for the first half.
