Bournemouth beat Ipswich 2-1 to stretch winning run to eight matches

Story So Far

Bournemouth continued their impressive run of form with a 2-1 victory over Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Sunday, stretching their winning streak to eight matches.

Evanilson put the visitors ahead after five minutes, and a Leif Davis own goal a minute into the second half doubled the lead. Ipswich pulled one back through Jack Clarke's 72nd-minute penalty, but Bournemouth held on for the win.

The defeat leaves Ipswich without a win in their last three league matches, while Bournemouth's run has carried them through the autumn as one of the division's form sides.

The WAM match report and the match record agree on the scorers and the timing of the goals, and the eight-match winning streak is as reported in the match coverage.

Bournemouth's streak is the kind of run that turns a good start into a statement, and it keeps them among the teams setting the pace as the season heads for the international break. Ipswich, meanwhile, are still waiting for a win to steady their own campaign.
