Ipswich Town completed a stunning comeback as late goals from Abdoul Ouattara and Dara O'Shea sealed a memorable 2-1 win over Fulham at Portman Road.

The result means Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa is still winless in his first six Premier League games in charge, with the pressure mounting on the Spaniard, while Ipswich have secured their third league win of the campaign.

After a tepid start to the contest, Julio Enciso had the first opening of the game, whistling an attempt past the right-hand post.

David Affengruber headed wide from Alex Iwobi’s left-wing centre, before Christian Walton repelled Sander Berge’s rasping drive at the near post.

Gonzalo Garcia thought he had put his side ahead early in the second half, but Issa Diop did enough to make a crucial goal-line block, after some good work from Oscar Bobb down the byline.

Arbeloa’s men eventually found the back of the net in the 55th minute as Diop’s headed clearance kindly fell to Ryan Sessegnon 25 yards from goal, with the left-back fizzing a low strike into the bottom-right corner.

The hosts almost responded with an equaliser, but Emersonn crashed a header against the upright following Enciso’s exquisite cross, with Bobb then lashing a shot over at the other end.

However, in a remarkable ending, the Tractor Boys levelled in the 88th minute with Ouattara picking out the bottom-left corner from outside the box, before O’Shea glanced a header in at the near post following Jack Clarke’s free-kick.

Kevin looked to add a further twist to this enthralling contest, but the Brazilian was brilliantly denied by the outstretched leg of Walton at the near post.

We fight to the end! https://t.co/CxsrqW57XA

Tractor Boys show fight as Arbeloa's winless run continues 

After seeing his side concede a late equaliser to Manchester United prior to the international break, Arbeloa would have hoped his team had learned their lesson.

However, after taking a deserved lead 10 minutes after the interval, the visitors, who opted to sit back in the closing stages, found themselves pegged back again.

The away side registered an expected goals (xG) figure of 1.81 from 13 shots in this contest, compared to Ipswich tallying 1.15 from 11 attempts.

But regardless of the underlying stats, the result keeps Fulham winless and ensures they have already lost eight points from winning positions this season, Only Bournemouth (nine) have lost more.

As for the home side, they have now won three of their first six Premier League games in a season for only the second time, while also remaining undefeated against Fulham overall in the competition (W2 D3).
