Ipswich Town 2-0 Blackpool
- Published
Goals either side of half-time by Alan Judge and Luke Woolfenden earned Ipswich Town victory over Blackpool to end a run of three home defeats.
Blackpool went close early on as Marvin Ekpiteta's header went wide and James Husband's stooping effort just failed to find the target before a corner by Elliot Embleton was met with a hooked volley by defender Jordan Thorniley.
A long-range shot by Embleton was then beaten away by Ipswich goalkeeper Tomas Holy.
Town had the ball in the net when Freddie Sears was put clear by Troy Parrott but was ruled offside.
However, they took the lead through Judge, who beat Blackpool keeper Chris Maxwell with a low rasping shot two minutes before the break.
Sears' shot was parried over the crossbar by Maxwell and from the resultant corner, Woolfenden headed home for his first goal of the season.
Ipswich were denied a third when Ekpiteta challenged Gwion Edwards inside the six-yard box and Sears' shot was deflected round the post.
